of Right,” and “Metaphysical Elements
of the Theory of Virtue “), are devoted to the
development of the system. The year 1798 brought
two more larger works, the
Conflict of the Faculties
and the
Anthropology. Of the reviews,
that on Herder’s
Ideen maybe mentioned,
and among the minor essays, the following:
Idea
for a Universal History in a Cosmopolitan Sense, Answer
to the Question: What is Illumination f both
in 1784;
What does it mean to Orient oneself in
Thought? 1786;
On the Use of Teleological Principles
in Philosophy, 1788;
On a Discovery according
to which all Recent Criticism of Pure Reason is to
be superseded by a Previous One, 1790;
On the
Progress of Metaphysics since the Time of Wolff; On
Philosophy in General, The End of all Things, 1794;
On Everlasting Peace, 1795. Kant’s
Logic was published by Jaesche in 1800; his
Physical Geography and his
Observations
on Pedagogics by F.T. Rink in 1803; his lectures
on the
Philosophical Theory of Religion (1817;
2d. ed., 1830) and on
Metaphysics (1821; cf.
Benno Erdmann in the
Philosophische Monatshefte,
vol. xix. 1883, p. 129
seq., and vol. xx. 1884,
p. 65
seq.) by Poelitz. If we may judge
by the specimens given by Reicke in the
Altpreussische
Monatsschrift, 1882-84, and by Krause himself,[3]
the promised publication of a manuscript of Kant’s
last years, now in possession of the Hamburg pastor,
Albrecht Krause, and which discusses the transition
from the metaphysical elements of natural science to
physics, will hardly meet the expectations which some
have cherished concerning it. Benno Erdmann has
issued
Nachtraege zu Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft
aus Kants Nachlass, 1881, and
Reflexionen Kants
zur kritischen Philosophie aus handschriftlichen Aufzeichnungen—the
first volume first
Heft (Reflexionen zur Anthropologie)
appearing in 1882, the second volume
(Reflexionen
zur Kritik der reinen Vernunft, aus Kants Handexemplar
von Baumgartens Metaphysica) in 1884. Max
Mueller has made an English translation of the
Critique
of Pure Reason, 2 vols., 1881.[4]
[Footnote 1: There has been much discussion and
much has been written concerning the relation of the
two editions. In opposition to Schopenhauer and
Kuno Fischer it must be maintained that the alterations
in the second edition consist in giving greater prominence
to realistic elements, which in the first edition
remained in the background, though present even there.]
[Footnote 2: This publication was the occasion
of a conflict between Kant and the censorship concerning
the right of free religious inquiry; cf. Dilthey
in the Archiv fuer Geschichte der Philosophie,
vol. in. 1890, pp. 418-450.]

wider K. Fischer, zum ersten Male mit Huelfe des verloren
gewesenen Kantischen Hauptwerkes vertheidigt, 1884

Werk I. Kants, mit Belegen populaer-wissenschaftlich
