| Summary: | "This volume consists of thirteen chapters examining the historical background and philosophical content of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten's Elements of First Practical Philosophy (Initia philosophiae practicae primae, 1760) and its relation to the work of Immanuel Kant. All the contributors are well-established scholars and the chapters, taken together, provide a comprehensive, balanced, and indeed ground-breaking treatment of this neglected aspect of classical German philosophy. Like its predecessor, Kant and Baumgarten on Metaphysics (OUP, 2018), this volume aims to capitalize on the editors' recent, first-ever translation into English of two key texts, namely, Baumgarten's Elements and Kant's Reflections on Moral Philosophy (Bloomsbury, 2020)"--Publisher's description. |
