The interpretation of Kant's philosophy in her book Kant’s Conception of Moral Character. The ‘Critical’ Link of Morality, Anthropology, and Reflective Judgment (Chicago, 1999) is developed in her current manuscript in terms of the relation of Kant's critical philosophy to the pedagogical debates of the 18th century.
