Recenzii

This excellent translation of Tetens' writings on method, language, and anthropology is a major contribution to scholarship on modern German philosophy. Not only are Tetens' works valuable for understanding Kant, they also illuminate the breadth and depth of philosophical reflection in a particularly rich period of intellectual history.
With this fine collection of Tetens' essays and occasional pieces- expertly translated and meticulously annotated by Fugate, Sommerlatte, and Stapleford- English readers can see for the first time how thoroughly the ambition to offer his own "grand synthesis" animates Tetens' thought, and can explore for themselves the profound affinities that obtain throughout the works of Tetens and Kant.
Tetens has long been regarded as an important source for Kant, but his work is now being discussed in its own right. Putting Tetens's influential Philosophical Essays of 1777 in the context of his earlier and later works will enable scholars to achieve a much fuller picture of his-and his contemporaries-approaches to a variety of subjects. This collection is a welcome addition that will enrich the burgeoning field of 18th century philosophical studies.
