Paul Guyer

Paul Guyer

Paul Guyer, a Professor of Philosophy and F.R.C. Murray Professor in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania, is one of the world's forememost scholars of Kant. Apart from writing several books and essays on Kant and Kantian themes, he has edited and translated a number of Kant's works into English. Guyer's "Kant and The Claims of Knowledge" (Cambridge University Press) is widely considered to be one of the most significant works in Kant scholarship. Princeton University Press recently released Guyer's highly anticipated new work, "Knowledge, Reason, and Taste: Kant's Response to Hume". He is one of the general editors of the Cambridge Edition of Kant's works in translation. His other areas of specialty include the history of philosophy and aesthetics.

Guyer graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University, where he also received his Ph.D. He received the George Plimpton Adams Prize in Philosophy as an undergraduate and the David and Emily Carrier Prize in Philosophy as a graduate student. In 1996, Harvard honored him with its Centennial Medal, given to alumni of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for "contributions to society as they have emerged from one's graduate education at Harvard."
