This volume collects Kant's most important ethical and anthropological
writings from the 1760s, before he developed his critical philosophy.
The materials presented here range from the Observations, one of
Kant's most elegantly written and immediately popular texts, to the
accompanying Remarks which Kant wrote in his personal copy of the
Observations and which are translated here in their entirety for the
first time. This edition also includes little-known essays as well as
personal notes and fragments that reveal the emergence of Kant's
complex philosophical ideas. Those familiar with Kant's later works
will discover a Kant interested in the 'beauty' as well as the
'dignity' of humanity, in human diversity as well as the universality
of morals, and in practical concerns rather than abstract
philosophizing. Readers will be able to see Kant's development from
the Observations through the Remarks towards the moral philosophy that
eventually made him famous.
