1 The book has serious problems with the German Umlaut. See the title of Kant's work referred to on page 45, but especially the use of Rodelheim instead of Rödelheim, or Roedelheim. Since the Germans are Rodel (luge) world champions, the difference is decisive, and one might expect Oxford University Press to be able to print Umlaute.
