Synopsis

Very few biographies of Kant exist. The Neo-Kantian movement renewed interest in his life. During the last half of the 19th century, John Henry Wilbrandt Stuckenberg provided an eminently readable biography of Kant, as seen from a sympathetic, yet detached viewpoint. This well-rounded depiction of his life includes a discussion of Kant's work, which, while at variance with current understanding, is still worth pondering. Originally published in 1882 by Macmillan, this edition contains a new preface by Rolf George.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Kritik of Pure Reason no biography of its author has appeared in the English language. Even in Germany, where his philosophy is studied so extensively and has been the occasion of an immense number of works, but little attention has been paid to the life of Kant, and the biographies of him are far from being satisfactory. It is not difficult to.discover the reasons for the neglect of the biography of this great thinker and eminent scholar. The materials for such a work arc widely scattered, and require much researcli; and one may glean long and on many a field, and, as the result of his labours, bring home only a light sheaf, and even that nearly all straw. The difficulty is by no means over when the materials have been found. Not only are there numerous conflicting statements, owing largely to the contentions occasioned by his philosophy and the prejudices which they aroused, but there is also a lack of the variety and incident which are commonly regarded as essential to an interesting biography.
