Now translated into English for the first time, John Hymers explores the extent of Baumgarten's influence on the development of German philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Accompanied by an introduction to Baumgarten and his work, this translation features an explanation of the main themes of the \u003ci\u003eEthica Philosophica\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 K?hler appear together with the relevant transcriptions of Kant's lectures on ethics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Kant's Sources in Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350192614","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43881537077385,"sku":"9781350192614","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_77c98da7-686e-4a97-b7f8-cf16e19e899f.jpg?v=1744697413","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/baumgartens-philosophical-ethics-a-critical-translation-9781350192614","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
