Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Anthropology History And Education by Immanuel Kant , Edited and translated by Robert B. Louden , Edited and translated by Gunter Zoeller
Anthropology, History, and Education, first published in 2007, contains all of Kants major writings on human nature. Some of these works, which were published over a thirty-nine year period between 1764 and 1803, had never before been translated into English. Kants question What is the human being? is approached indirectly in his famous works on metaphysics, epistemology, moral and legal philosophy, aesthetics and the philosophy of religion, but it is approached directly in his extensive but less well-known writings on physical and cultural anthropology, the philosophy of history, and education which are gathered in the present volume. Kant repeatedly claimed that the question What is the human being? should be philosophys most fundamental concern, and Anthropology, History, and Education can be seen as effectively presenting his philosophy as a whole in a popular guise.show more
