Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-02 00:00:00 Tom Monasmith Jr The introduction of my edition makes two striking points: 1. You should just learn German if you want to understand Kant. 2. Kant is a dry writer with occasionally brilliant sentences. So, that was good to know. And actually, not a bad mentality for going in. I went in intimidated by Kant and I still feel intimidated by him, but also impressed. This is really fascinating stuff. I'm not sure I agree with any of it. But I find his logic fascinating. Though an Enlightenment philosopher, he was more a contemporary of the American Revolution than an influence on it, and I think that is one reason I didn't necessarily resonate with his thought the way I do with Locke. But there are some really fascinating comparisons to be made with his work and Hobbes's. Looking forward to digging deeper in this stuff.

The edited texts are "On the Common Saying", "Metaphysics of Morals" & "Contest of Faculties." A later edition of this book includes three more short items and a postscript concerning scholarly issues since its first publication in 1970.
