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.
