In a short chapter of the Critique of Practical Reason entitled "On the Typic of the Pure Practical Power of Judgment," Kant addresses a crucial problem facing his theory of moral judgment: How can we represent the supersensible moral law so as to apply it to actions in the sensible world? Despite its importance to Kant´s project, previous studies of the Typic have been fragmentary, disparate, and contradictory. This book provides a detailed commentary on the Typic, elucidating how it enables moral judgment by means of the law of nature, which serves as the ´type´, or analogue, of the moral law. In addition, the book situates the Typic, both historically and conceptually, within Kant´s theory of symbolic representation. While many commentators have assimilated the Typic to the aesthetic notion of ´symbolic hypotyposis´ in the third Critique, the author contends that it has greater continuities with the theoretical notion of ´symbolic anthropomorphism´ in the Prolegomena. As the first comprehensive, book-length study of the Typic that critically engages with the secondary literature, this monograph fills an important gap in the research on Kant´s ethics and aesthetics and provides a starting point for further inquiry and debate.
