 766 KANT KAPP of it at Copenhagen, 1796-'8. It was also taught in Hungary and Poland. In Italy it was criticised by Galuppi in 1819, and later by both Rosmini and Gioberti. Montovani published in 1822 a Traduzione delta Critiea delta ragione pvra di Kant ; Testa, in 1843-'9, an Esame e discussione of the same ; Roggero, an analysis in his Storia delta filosofia da Car- tesio a Kant (1869) ; and Villa another, in his Kant e Rosmini (1869). Spaventa's Filosofia di Kant e ma relazione colla filosofia italia- na (1860) is also an able work. Charles Vil- lers published a valuable essay on Kant in French in 1801; Destutt do Tracy commented on his metaphysics before the academy; De Gerando in his " Comparative History " (1804), and Mme. de Stael in her " Germany " (1813), gave a fuller account of it. The best French account is in J. Willm's " History of German Philosophy " (4 vols., 1846-'9), a work crowned by the French academy ; the first volume and half of the second are taken up with the crit- ical philosophy. Charles de Remusat in 1847 wrote a valuable report on this " History " for the academy of moral and political sci- ences. Victor Cousin's analysis, which ap- peared in 1842 under the title Leyons de phi- losophie sur Kant, and since the fourth edition (1863) as Philosophic de Kant, has been trans- lated into English by Henderson (London, 1853 ; new ed., 1871). J. Tissot has translated into French the "Pure Reason" (2d ed., 1845), " Logic " (1840), " Metaphysics of Law " (2d ed., 1853) and "of Morals" (3d ed., 1854), the "Metaphysics," edited by Politz (1843), and "Anthropology" (1854). Trullard in 1841 gave a French version of " Religion within the Bounds of Reason;" Barni in 1846 of the "Criticism of the Judgment," and in 1848 of that of the " Practical Reason," besides a criti- cal examination of these works (1850 and 1851), and the " Metaphysical Elements of Law," with the " Project on Perpetual Peace " (1855). .Born published in Latin Kantii Opera (3 vols., Leipsic, 1796) ; Kunhardt, a Latin version of the " Prolegomena to every future System of Metaphysics" (Helmstedt, 1797); and G. L. Konig, Elemcnta Ethica (Gotha, 1800). The first English work on Kant was a "General and Introductory View," by Nitzsch (Lon- don, 1796). Others are: J. 8. Beck (trans- lated by an auditor), " Principles of the Criti- cal Philosophy" (London, 1798); Willich's " Elements of the Critical Philosophy " (Lon- don, 1798); "Kant's Essays and Treatises" (2 vols., 1798) ; Wirgman's "Principles of the Kantesian Philosophy " (1824) ; J. W. Semple, " Kant's Metaphysics of Ethics " (1837) ; John Richardson, "Metaphysical Works of Kant" (" Logic," " Prolegomena to Metaphysics," "Proofs of God's Existence," and "Theod- icy," 8vo, London, 1836; printed in 1819); an " Analysis of Kant's Critick of Pure Reason," by the translator of that work (8vo, London, 1844; the translation appeared in 1841). An- other and better version of the " Critique of the Pure Reason," by M. D. Meiklejohn, was published in Bohn's " Philosophical Library " (1855). An account of his system is given in J. D. Morell's " Historical and Critical View of the Speculative Philosophy of the Nineteenth Century " (last ed., 1850), with which may be compared Wirgman in the " Encyclopaedia Londinensis," and the article in the " Encyclo- psedia Britannica." Among recent German works may be mentioned Kuno Fischer's 1m- manuel Kant: Entwickelungsgeschichte mid System der Tcritischen Philosophic (Mannheim, 1800); Paul, Kant's Lehrewm idealen Chris- tus (Kiel, 1869); Grapengiesser, Kant's Lehre von Eaum und Zeit (Jena, 1870) ; Wolf, Die Hetaphysische Grundanschauung Kant's (Leip- sic, 1870) ; Zimmermann, Ueber Kant's mathe- matisches Vorurtheil (Vienna, 1871); Witte, Beitrage zur Verstandniss Kants (Berlin, 1874); and Holder, Darstellung der Kanti- sehen Erkenntnisstheorie, mil hesonderer Be- riiclaichtigung der verschiedenen Fassungen der transscendentalen Deduction der Katego- rien (Tubingen, 1874). An excellent collection of the most striking passages in Kant's works, designed for general readers, is Frauenstedt's Immanuel Kant : Lichtstrahlen aus seinen Wer- fcen, mit einer Biographie und Charakterixtik Kant's (Leipsic, 1872). Among general histo- ries of philosophy containing adequate accounts are those by Mirbt, Rosenkranz, Chalybaus, Ritter, Erdmann, and the more recent ones, TIeberweg's Orundrus der Geschichte der Phi- losophie (Berlin, 18C2-'6; Eng. translation, New York, 1871-'3), and Kirchner and Dull- ring's Kritische Geschichte der Philosophie (Berlin, 1869). The most recent works of special value to English students are Mahaffy's " Kant's Critical Philosophy for English Read- ers" (London, 1871 et seq.), Abbott's "Kant's Theory of Ethics, or Practical Philosophy" (London, 1873), and Monck's " Introduction to the Critical Philosophy" (Dublin, 1874).
