One of the most widely read Western philosophers, Immanuel Kant left behind a legacy that has been interpreted and reinterpreted across disciplines and borders ever since. To mark the anniversary of his birth, De Gruyter is proud to present 150 years of Kant research published in the leading journals Kant-Studien and Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie alongside a selection of intriguing books, hand-picked by our editors.

The bilingual collection offers free access for a limited time to influential Kantian research published by De Gruyter. Sparking discussion for decades, these titles have filled substantial gaps in Kant scholarship, heralded new approaches, and presented in-depth studies or English translations for the first time.

The collection is available to read, download and share freely until 15 May 2024. Naturally, open access titles will remain accessible thereafter. To access these free resources, register an account on degruyter.com.
