Informationen zum Autor Aus dem Buch: "Die Gestalt der Personen, die durch ihr äußeres Ansehen gefallen, schlägt bald in eine, bald in die andere Art des Gefühls ein. Eine große Statur erwirbt sich Ansehen und Achtung, eine kleine mehr Vertraulichkeit. Selbst die bräunliche Farbe und schwarze Augen sind dem Erhabenen, blaue Augen und blonde Farbe dem Schönen näher verwandt. Ein etwas größeres Alter vereinbart sich mehr mit den Eigenschaften des Erhabenen, Jugend aber mit denen des Schönen." Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) war ein deutscher Philosoph der Aufklärung. Kant zählt zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der abendländischen Philosophie. Sein Werk Kritik der reinen Vernunft kennzeichnet einen Wendepunkt in der Philosophiegeschichte und den Beginn der modernen Philosophie. Klappentext This is the first English translation of all of Kant's writings on moral and political philosophy collected in a single volume. No other collection competes with the comprehensiveness of this one. As well as Kant's most famous moral and political writings, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, the Critique of Practical Reason, the Metaphysics of Morals, and Toward Perpetual Peace, the volume includes shorter essays and reviews, some of which have never been translated before. The translation of the Metaphysics of Morals by Mary Gregor appears in a new edition to conform to the guidelines of the Cambridge Edition and to reflect some widely accepted textual emendations adopted in a recent German edition of that work. The volume has been furnished with a substantial editorial apparatus including translators' introductions and explanatory notes to each text, and a general introduction to Kant's moral and political philosophy by Allen Wood. There is also an English-German and German-English glossary of key terms. Zusammenfassung The purpose of the Cambridge Edition is to offer translations of the best modern German edition of Kant's work in a uniform format suitable for Kant scholars.
