reflections from 18th- and 19th- century Europe
Portraits of Kant is a rare collection of first-hand accounts of the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant, arguably one of the most important thinkers of the modern age. Nearly all of the source material is appearing for the first time in English, with extracts from letters, diaries and journals of the day, as well as longer biographical sketches and memoirs. This one-of-kind biographical resource, told through the words of those who knew and argued with him, is accompanied by an introduction, commentaries and packed with maps and illustrations. For anyone interested in Kant or the history of modern European philosophy, it brings 18th-century Germany to life and offers new perspectives into the life and character of one of the world’s most influential individuals.
