Beschreibung

This volume, originally published in 2002, assembles the historical sequence of writings that Kant published between 1783 and 1796 to popularize, summarize, amplify and defend the doctrines of his masterpiece, the Critique of Pure Reason of 1781. The best known of them, the Prolegomena, is often recommended to beginning students, but the other texts are also vintage Kant and are important sources for a fully rounded picture of Kant's intellectual development. As with other volumes in the series there are copious linguistic notes and a glossary of key terms. The editorial introductions and explanatory notes shed light on the critical reception accorded Kant by the metaphysicians of his day and on Kant's own efforts to derail his opponents.

Über den Autor

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher of the Enlightenment and one of the defining figures in the history of Western philosophy. Born in Königsberg in 1724, Kant spent his life as a scholar and teacher, producing major works in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, religion, and the philosophy of science. His critical philosophy transformed modern thought by asking how human reason structures knowledge, moral obligation, and judgement. His most influential works include Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, Critique of Judgment, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and Religion within the Bounds of Bare [...]'s moral philosophy is especially associated with duty, autonomy, rational agency, universal law, and the categorical imperative. In Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, he argues that morality cannot rest merely on desire, happiness, authority, or consequence, but must be grounded in reason itself. The work remains one of the most studied texts in ethics and modern philosophy, central to discussions of deontology, human dignity, moral law, freedom, and the obligations rational beings owe to one another.
