  1. I note that the vast majority of these citations are citations to books about Kant’s value theory (comprising both ethics and aesthetics). Is this because Kant’ is widely regarded as providing a set of live options in value theory but as a dead dog who it comes to epistemology and metaphysics?

    1. The two most cited are expositions of Kant’s M&E! Others ranked 10 and lower are also mainly about the 1st Critique. But it’s probably right that writing on Kantian ethics attracts the interest of contemporary moral philosophers, in a way that much of Kant’s trasncendental idealism does not animate the work of contemporary philosophers doing M&E.
