Critics Review
Written for the general reader, Wick’s brisk biography of Kant gives us three valuable things: a sense of the man, a generous set of discussions of his writings, and the needed context – historical, philosophical, and scientific – to better appreciate why Kant’s ideas were so important in his day and are still “a big deal” in our own. - Steve Naragon, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Manchester University, Indiana, and editor of Portraits of Kant

Lucid, informative, imaginative and accurate, it is engaging for general readers and for students of Kant at any level. - Kenneth R. Westphal, Member of Academia Europaea and author of Kant’s Critical Epistemology
