Bøger af Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten

This book presents the first English translation of Alexander Baumgarten's Initia Philosophiae Practicae Primae, the textbook Kant used in his lectures on moral philosophy. Originally published in Latin in 1760, the Initia contains a systematic, but original version of the universal practical philosophy first articulated by Christian Wolff. In his personal copy, Kant penned hundreds of pages of notes and sketches that document his relation to this earlier tradition. Translating these extensive elucidations into English, together with Kant's notes on the text, this translation offers a complete resource to Kant's reading of the Initia. To facilitate further study, first-time translations of elucidatory passages from G. F. Meier and Wolff are also included, alongside a German-English-Latin glossary. The translators' introduction provides a biography of Baumgarten, a discussion of the importance of the Initia, its relation to Wolff's and Meier's universal practical philosophy and its role in Kant's lectures. By shedding new light on the arguments of Kant's mature works and offering insights into his pre-Critical moral thought, Elements of First Practical Philosophyreveals why Baumgarten's work is essential for understanding the background to Kant's philosophy

Alexander Baumgarten's Ethica Philosophica (1740) served as a chief textbook of philosophical instruction in German universities for several decades, and was used by Immanuel Kant for his lectures on moral philosophy between 1759 and 1794. Now translated into English for the first time, John Hymers explores the extent of Baumgarten's influence on the development of German philosophy. Accompanied by an introduction to Baumgarten and his work, this translation features an explanation of the main themes of the Ethica Philosophica, touching upon its relation to Christian Wolff and G.F. Meier's practical philosophy, but focusing especially on its role in Kant's lectures. First-time translations of elucidatory passages from the writings of Meier, Wolff, and Heinrich Köhler appear together with the relevant transcriptions of Kant's lectures on ethics. Based on a thorough knowledge of the original text, Hymers' clear translation and supporting material makes it possible to distinguish Kant's own remarks and insights from his attempts to expound and summarize Baumgarten's ideas. This is a much-needed contribution for anyone working in the history of modern philosophy.

Die "Metaphysik" von Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, zuerst in lateinischer Sprache 1739 erschienen, war seinerzeit eines der verbreitetsten Philosophie-Lehrbücher. Auch Immanuel Kant legte es seinen Metaphysik-Vorlesungen zu Grunde. Nach Baumgartens Tod übersetzte sein Schüler Georg Friedrich Meier das Werk; und 1783 wurde es nochmals von Johann August Eberhard mit Kommentaren herausgegeben. Die vorliegende Ausgabe gibt den Text der Ausgabe 1783, mit allen Abweichungen zur Ausgabe von 1739. Ergänzt wird der Text durch eine Einführung von Dagmar Mirbach, eine Konkordanz zur lateinischen Ausgabe und durch eine Bibliographie der Werke Baumgartens.
