KANT (Immanuel).
Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht abgefasst. Mit einem zu diesem Buche nöthigen Register versehen.
The unauthorised second edition, revised and with an index added at the rear, preceding the official second edition published in 1800.
Kant’s major contributions to the early development anthropology and psychology, originally written as a manual for a course of lectures delivered over a period of thirty year period at the University of Konigsberg. Although Kant was by no means the first German academic to lecture under this title, he consciously broke with the ‘empirical psychology’ of his day and the tradition of “German anthropology stretching back to the 16th century, a tradition that tended to conceive of anthropology as a unified science of theology and physiology” (Jacobs & Kain, pp. 2-3).
Warda, 196; this edition not in Adickes.
