A collection bringing together seven shorter works by Kant, all previously published in the periodicals Berlinische Monatsschrift and Teutscher Merkur between 1784 to 1791, including Kant’s seminal essay ‘Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?’ (Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?’). This was the earliest collected edition of any of Kant’s writings, although it was published without Kant’s knowledge of consent.
Provenenace: (1) from the library of the Prussian historian and statesman Johann Peter Friedrich Ancillon (1767-1837), with his engraved bookplate to front pastedown; (2) modern monogram booklabel to front pastedown.
