The Cambridge edition of the works of Immanuel Kant [...] Theoretical philosophy : 1755 - 1770 / transl. and ed. by David Walford in collab. with Ralf Meerbote

This is the first volume of the first ever comprehensive edition of the works of Immanuel Kant in English translation. The eleven essays in this volume constitute Kant's theoretical, pre-critical philosophical writings from 1755 to 1770. Several of these pieces have never been translated into English before; others have long been unavailable in English. We can trace in these works the development of Kant's thought to the eventual emergence in 1770 of the two chief tenets of his mature philosophy: the subjectivity of space and time, and the phenomena-noumena distinction. The volume has been furnished with substantial editorial apparatus, including a general introduction to the main themes of Kant's early thought, introduction to the individual works and résumés of their contents, linguistic and factual notes, bibliographies, a glossary of key terms, and biographical-bibliographical sketches of persons mentioned by Kant. "This is the first volume of the first ever comprehensive edition of the works of Immanuel Kant in English translation. The purpose of the Cambridge Edition is to offer translations of the best modern German edition of Kant's work in a uniform format suitable for Kant scholars. When complete (fourteen volumes are currently envisaged), the edition will include all of Kant's published writings and a generous selection of his unpublished writings such as the Opus postumum, handschriftiche Nachlass, lectures, and correspondence."--BOOK JACKET. "The eleven essays in this volume constitute Kant's theoretical, pre-critical philosophical writings from 1755 to 1770. Several of these pieces have never been translated into English before; others have long been unavailable in English. They treat a wide range of issues: the compatibility of science and religious faith, the perfection and harmony of the world, the demonstration of God's existence, causality and its cognition, the mind and its place in nature, the relation of geometry and the world, the nature of space and time, the contrasting methods of mathematics and metaphysics, the origin of metaphysical concepts, and the possibility and limits of metaphysical cognition. We can trace in these works the development of Kant's thought to the eventual emergence in 1770 of the two chief tenets of his mature philosophy: the subjectivity of space and time, and the phenomena-noumena distinction."--BOOK JACKET. "The volume has been furnished with substantial editorial apparatus, including a general introduction to the main themes of Kant's early thought, introduction to the individual works and resumes of their contents, linguistic and factual notes, bibliographies, a glossary of key terms, and biographical-bibliographical sketches of persons mentioned by Kant."--Jacket ''This is the first volume of the first ever comprehensive edition of the works of Immanuel Kant in English translation.
