In his book Imagination in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason, Freydberg offers three provocative arguments. First, Freydberg argues that even though the significance of imagination for practical reason is never mentioned by Kant, the role of this faculty in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason is central. Second, following Fichte, Schelling, and more recently Heidegger, he seeks to provide an account of the unity of the Kantian system. Freydberg argues that Kant's system owes its unity to the central role of imagination in Kant's philosophy as a whole. Third, guided by Kant's claims about the primacy of the practical, Freydberg argues that "the Critique of Practical Reason provides the linchpin of that unity" (p. 2).

I must follow up with this with a recent review done of young author David Montalvo for his “boy with an ‘i’” book (available at bn.com)
It speaks to the politicized aspects of subjectivity and the ironic impossible governance of it through practicality.
It’s unfortunate there isn’t more on the contributions of this author and the the type of man and society he illustrates.
If anyone knows more, I urge the research.
