29Kant's Theory of Freedom (review)Review of Metaphysics 45 (1): 111-112. 1991.This is a very important book for Kantian practical philosophy, because it defends the essential consistency and coherence of Kant's transcendental idealism and his moral philosophy. At the same time, Allison's careful textual work along with his account of Kant's transcendental distinction between the intelligible and empirical character of human agency helps to clarify passages which have plagued some of the best interpreters of Kant's practical philosophy, such as Lewis White Beck and Allen W…Read more

Kant's Pragmatic Anthropology and its Relationship to Critical PhilosophyDissertation, The Pennsylvania State University. 1989.The question that has not yet been dealt with is why Kant was interested in pragmatic anthropology, and how it developed in relationship to his critical thinking.

15The Green Kant: Kant's Treatment of AnimalsIn Paul Pojman Louis Pojman (ed.), in Environmental Ethics: Readings in Theory and Application, Cengage Learning. 2008.Kant's theory of animals is based on his belief that animals have presentations and consciousness and in this are like human beings. When we abuse animals then we are more likely to abuse human beings. But animals are organic beings that have internal purposiveness and hence are ends for which other things are means. In this limited sense animals have intrinsic value.
