Product Description
From Library Journal
This work contains the first English translations--very readable ones, too--of two later Kant essays, "On a Newly Raised Superior Tone in Philosophy" and "Announcement of a Near Conclusion for a Treaty of Eternal Peace in Philosophy." In his lengthy introduction, Fenves examines the concept of tone in philosophy and analyzes relations between some of Kant's writing and that of Derrida. The book concludes with Derrida's "On a Newly Arisen Apocalyptic Tone in Philosophy" (translated by John Leavey Jr.), in which he examines tone in Kant's writings as a means of revealing unspoken elements of discourse. A challenging book; recommended for graduate students and scholars in the field.

Review
"Not only an indispensable text for readers of Kant and Derrida; it also encourages our hopes for that degree of clarity and light which we mere mortals may fleetingly enjoy."--'Michigan Quarterly Review' "Fenves has done an admirable job of tracing the occasion of Kant's polemics on tone."--'Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism' "This handy volume makes available [Derrida's] 'deconstructive' analysis of the Kantian critical tradition which has been heretofore unavailable to the English reading public."--'Reader's Review' "The chances of finding Derrida together with a philosopher like Kant are slim. In Peter Fenves's impeccably edited 'Raising the Tone of Philosophy', such an improbability is not only realized but is precisely what is at stake."--'TLS'
