Produktbeschreibung

Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View is Kants last set of lecture notes for his annual course in anthropology, which he taught from 1772 until his retirement in 1796. Intended for a broad audience, it reveals not only Kants unique contribution to the newly emerging discipline of anthropology, but also his desire to offer students a practical view of the world and of humanitys place in it. This volume offers a new annotated translation of the text by Robert B. Louden, together with an introduction by Manfred Kuehn.
