This is an edited collection devoted to the topic of the role of animals within Kant's philosophy. It addresses key issues within both his theoretical and practical philosophy. It examines the place of Kant's model of animal minds in the historical and contemporary contexts. It addresses the question of whether Kant's philosophy of mind allows for animals to be capable of intentional representations of spatiotemporal objects. It explores how Kant treated the issue of animal nature as it manifests in humans and non-humans alike, and questions how Kant's scientific theory attempted to accommodate animals within his broader Enlightenment worldview.
