Kant Dictionary

An accessible A-to-Z reference guide to the complex works of the eighteenth-century philosopher. A great thinker of the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant was born in Königsberg, Prussia, in 1724. He rarely left his hometown and never left his country. He did, however, frequently venture into the spiritual and boundless realm of human thinking, from which he brought back his great philosophical works. In the Kant Dictionary , editor Morris Stockhammer brings together essential concepts, terms, meanings, and definitions from Kant’s vast body of work. The goal was to provide a concise reference tool that penetrates Kant’s complex system of thought and elucidates his philosophy. Now students and laypeople may have easier access to works once limited to scholars. The material contained in this dictionary is designed to provide a concise tool of penetration into Kants system of thought, a system that by virtue of its complexity and linguistic difficulties has long been almost the exclusive property of scholars. Professor Stockhammer has extracted from the vast body of Kants literature the essential concepts, terms, meanings and definitions of his system, and has arranged them in such a way as to give a clear exposition of Kants dualistic philosophy. The author, a Viennese Doctor of Philosophy, was one of the eminent Kantians of our time and author of many works in the field.
