KANT, Immanuel

Beschreibung

First edition. This copy lacks the errata leaf but has a comma rather than a full stop after Nicolovius on the title-page, indicative of the first impression. Adickes 104. 'Between 1755, when he received the venia legendi, and 1796, when he ended his teaching activity, Kant taught logic some 30 times. In accordance with the requirements of the Prussian ministry of culture, his course lectures were built around a recognized text, G. F. Meier's 1752 Auszug aus der Vernunftlehre. Kant did not merely present Meier's views, however, but commented on and criticized these as he thought appropriate; his own copy of Meier was full of marginal notes and interleaved with notes on separate bits of paper. When in 1799 he entrusted G.B. Jäsche with this material for the compiling of a logic text, the thought was presumably of a Kantian logic organized around Meier's framework. Since logic plays such a prominent role in the Critical philosophy, one would expect the Jäsche Logik to be viewed as an important tool for the interpretation of the Critical philosophy. But dissatisfaction with it was evident right from its original publication in 1800' (Hoke Robinson, Journal of the History of Philosophy, 38.4, 2000, p. 603). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 8vo, xxiv, 232 pp., early-20th-century half leather over marbled boards, title-page with library stamp of Theodor Richter, 1827, outer leaves very lightly foxed, elsewhere clean and unbrowned with just a few isolated spots, good wide margins, a fresher copy than most of this edition.
