Kant

This antiquarian book contains William Wallace’s 1899 biography of the famous German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. Exploring extensively both his life and his work, Wallace takes a rather emotional and personal approach to the man, emphasizing Kant’s working class roots and sympathies. A fascinating and uniquely insightful biography, Wallace’s “Kant” is not to be missed by those with an interest in this most remarkable philosopher. Contents include: “Königsberg”, “Kant at School and College”, “Probitas Laudatur Et Alget”, “Professor Kant in Public and Private”, “The Age of criticism”, “The Critical School”, ”Kant's Last Years”, “Speculative Physics and Biology”, “Essays in Metaphysics”, etcetera. William Wallace (1844–1897) was a Scottish philosopher and academic, best known for his studies of Kant and Hegel. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
