Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Lectures On Logic by Immanuel Kant , Edited by J. Michael Young
Kants views on logic and logical theory play an important part in his critical writings, especially the Critique of Pure Reason. However, since he published only one short essay on the subject, we must turn to texts derived from his logic lectures to understand his views. This volume includes three previously untranslated transcripts of Kants logic lectures: the Blomberg Logic 1770s, the Vienna Logic supplemented by the recently discovered Hechsel Logic 1780s, and the Dohna-Wundlacken Logic 1790s. Also included is a new translation of the Jasche Logic, compiled at Kants request from his lectures and published in 1800, and concordances relating Kants lectures to Georg Friedrich Meiers Excerpts from the Doctrine of Reason, the book on which Kant lectured throughout his life and in which he left extensive notes.show more
