In the SD
Hello Rabbi, which book does the Rabbi recommend reading to get to know Kant’s thought better, and does the Rabbi recommend the book “Kant and the Renewal of Metaphysics” by Jeremiah Yuval?
Thank you very much.

I don’t know. There’s a book by Hugo Bergman, “Immanuel Kant.” It’s the only one I know in Hebrew and it’s perfectly fine.

Son, I can add a list of books I have:
Immanuel Kant, by Alan Wood.
The Open University textbook: ‘A Study of Kant’, by Elazar Weinrib.
There is also a long introduction in the new edition of ‘The Critique of Pure Reason’ by Jeremiah Yuval in which he reviews Kant's philosophy thoroughly (Yuval's introduction is like a small book).
As far as I remember, Jeremiah Yuval's book ‘Kant and the Renewal of Metaphysics’ is a kind of new interpretation of Yuval's philosophy of Kant, which, as far as I understand, is not so agreed upon.
There is also a nice book by Jeremiah Yuval called ”Kant and History” in which he focuses more on Kant's ethics.
The easiest book to read is by Alan Wood, and in my opinion the most successful is by Hugo Bergman.

It seems to me that the rabbi meant the book "The Philosophy of Immanuel Kant".

Yes, I know. I just came to suggest more useful books.
And the truth is, recently I started reading Kant's own writings, there are many important nuances in them that do not appear in concise literature like Prof. Bergman's.
