Though Kant is best known for his strictly philosophical works in
the 1780s, many of his early publications in particular were
devoted to what we would call 'natural science'. Kant's Universal
Natural History and Theory of the Heavens (1755) made a significant
advance in cosmology, and he was also instrumental in establishing
the newly emerging discipline of physical geography, lecturing on
it for almost his entire career. In this volume Eric Watkins brings
together new English translations of Kant's first publication,
Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces (1746-9), the
entirety of Physical Geography (1802), a series of shorter essays,
along with many of Kant's most important publications in natural
science. The volume is rich in material for the student and the
scholar, with extensive linguistic and explanatory notes, editorial
introductions and a glossary of key terms.
