Kant's Observations of 1764 and Remarks of 1764 1765 (a set of
fragments written in the margins of his copy of the Observations)
document a crucial turning point in his life and thought. Both
reveal the growing importance for him of ethics, anthropology and
politics, but with an important difference. The Observations
attempts to observe human nature directly. The Remarks, by
contrast, reveals a revolution in Kant's thinking, largely inspired
by Rousseau, who 'turned him around' by disclosing to Kant the idea
of a 'state of freedom' (modelled on the state of nature) as a
touchstone for his thinking. This and related thoughts anticipate
such famous later doctrines as the categorical imperative. This
collection of essays by leading Kant scholars illuminates the many
and varied topics within these two rich works, including the
emerging relations between theory and practice, ethics and
anthropology, men and women, philosophy, history and the 'rights of
man'.
