Sommario/riassunto

While earlier work has emphasized Kant's philosophy of religion as thinly                disguised morality, this timely and original reappraisal of Kant's philosophy of                religion incorporates recent scholarship. In this volume, Chris L. Firestone,                Stephen R. Palmquist, and the other contributors make a strong case for more                



specific focus on religious topics in the Kantian corpus. Main themes include the                relationship between Kant's philosophy of religion and his philosophy as a whole,                the contemporary relevance of spe

Sommario/riassunto

This book considers the evolution of the grammatical structure of words in the more general contexts of human evolution and the origins of language. The consensus in many fields is that language is well designed for its purpose, and became so either through natural selection or by virtue of non-biological constraints on how language must be structured. Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy argues that in certain crucial respects language is not optimally designed. This can be seen,



he suggests,in the existence of not one but two kinds of grammatical organization - syntax and morphology - and in the morpho
