Abstract
In this paper I provide an overview of the latest research on Kant’s Transcendental Deduction, from the last 20 years or so, including a non-exhaustive bibliography. I also reflect on the question why in that period there has up until now been so little recent book-length work dedicated to the Deduction, on so-called ‘analytical’ approaches to reading Kant and the Deduction in particular, and on the related issue of the relevance of both evaluative and historical/hermeneutical interpretations of the Deduction. In the latter part of the essay, I consider the most important desiderata for systematic-interpretatively guided research into the Deduction.

I reflect on the question why in that period there has up until now been so little recent book-length work dedicated to the Deduction, on so-called ‘analytical’ approaches to reading Kant and the Deduction in particular, and on the related issue of the relevance of both evaluative and historical/hermeneutical interpretations of the Deduction
Dennis Schulting publications,[3] most of these books were not exclusively focused on the Deduction) that appeared in the 1980s and early 1990s, both in Germany and in the States,[4] had brought Kant scholarship on the Deduction to a new level.[5]
Since the height of anglophone and German Kant scholarship in the 1980s and early 1990s, there certainly have been book-length publications that, among other themes, centrally address fundamental issues raised in the Deduction, but not all of them are completely successful in their attempts to grasp the central thrust of Kant’s thought or as meticulous as would be required for a thorough understanding of the arguments presented in the Deduction, and none of them have proved influential in successive research, Collins (1999) perhaps being the exception—two among them are arguably revisions of already earlier established views, but no less important for that (i.e. Bird 2006; Kitcher 2011)
