Description
This 1997 book was 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 volume has been furnished with a substantial editorial apparatus including translator's introductions and explanatory notes to each text by Mary Gregor, 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.

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.
