Alexander Baumgarten’s Ethica Philosophica (1740) served as a
chief textbook of philosophical instruction in German universities
for several decades, and was used by Immanuel Kant for his lectures
on moral philosophy between 1759 and 1794. Now translated into
English for the first time, John Hymers explores the extent of
Baumgarten's influence on the development of German philosophy.
Accompanied by an introduction to Baumgarten and his work, this
translation features an explanation of the general importance of
the Ethica Philosophica and its relation to Christian Wolff and
G.F. Meier’s practical philosophy, together with its role in
Kant’s lectures. First-time translations of elucidatory passages
from the writings of Meier, Wolff, and Heinrich Köhler appear
together with the relevant transcriptions of Kant’s lectures on
ethics. Based on a thorough knowledge of the original text, Hymer's
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.
This book presents the first English translation of Alexander
Baumgarten's Initia Philosophiae Practicae Primae, the textbook
Kant used in his lectures on moral philosophy. Originally published
in Latin in 1760, the Initia contains a systematic, but original
version of the universal practical philosophy first articulated by
Christian Wolff. In his personal copy, Kant penned hundreds of
pages of notes and sketches that document his relation to this
earlier tradition. Translating these extensive elucidations into
English, together with Kant's notes on the text, this translation
offers a complete resource to Kant's reading of the Initia. To
facilitate further study, first-time translations of elucidatory
passages from G. F. Meier and Wolff are also included, alongside a
German-English-Latin glossary. The translators' introduction
provides a biography of Baumgarten, a discussion of the importance
of the Initia, its relation to Wolff's and Meier's universal
practical philosophy and its role in Kant's lectures. By shedding
new light on the arguments of Kant's mature works and offering
insights into his pre-Critical moral thought, Elements of First
Practical Philosophy reveals why Baumgarten's work is essential for
understanding the background to Kant's philosophy.

Die Metaphysik" von Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, zuerst in
lateinischer Sprache 1739 erschienen, war seinerzeit eines der
verbreitetsten Philosophie-Lehrbucher. Auch Immanuel Kant legte es
seinen Metaphysik-Vorlesungen zu Grunde. Nach Baumgartens Tod
ubersetzte sein Schuler Georg Friedrich Meier das Werk; und 1783
wurde es nochmals von Johann August Eberhard mit Kommentaren
herausgegeben. Die vorliegende Ausgabe gibt den Text der Ausgabe
1783, mit allen Abweichungen zur Ausgabe von 1739. Erganzt wird der
Text durch eine Einfuhrung von Dagmar Mirbach, eine Konkordanz zur
lateinischen Ausgabe und durch eine Bibliographie der Werke
Baumgartens.
