Description
Immanuel Kant - Mains ideas of Three Critiques
The present volume consists of a number of extracts from Kant's principal works,—‘The Critique of Pure Reason,’ ‘The Critique of Practical Reason,’ and ‘The Critique of Judgment,’— and is intended for the use of teachers of philosophy. Undoubtedly the study of Kant is the best introduction into modern philosophy, and a powerful means of guarding students from falling into a shallow materialism or positivism. The extracts are well selected, and the difficult task of rendering Kant into intelligible English without altering the character of his style too much has been skilfully solved. (…) Professor Watson says that he found by experience the results obtained by means of lectures on philosophy very unsatisfactory, as the students did not learn to think for themselves : therefore he adopted the plan of supplementing his lectures by the study of the writings of various philosophers. This is the same method which is so successfully followed at German universities in what are called ‘seminaries.’ The teacher who will take this course will find Watson's book very useful and convenient, as it contains the salient points of Kant's philosophy. —Book review in Science, Vol. 12, No. 289
