"This collection of essays contains some of the most significant work on Kant's practical philosophy to have appeared in recent yearsThe essays are often speculative and sometimes sketchy (as the title indicates, they are explorations), but they are suggestive in helpful and constructive ways, and they contain many insightful discussions and developments of Kant's approach."
