Designed as a textbook for use in courses on natural theology and
used by Immanuel Kant as the basis for his Lectures on The
Philosophical Doctrine of Religion, Johan August Eberhard's
Preparation for Natural Theology (1781) is now available in English
for the first time. With a strong focus on the various intellectual
debates and historically significant texts in late renaissance and
early modern theology, Preparation for Natural Theology influenced
the way Kant thought about practical cognition as well as moral and
religious concepts. Access to Eberhard's complete text makes it
possible to distinguish where in the lectures Kant is making
changes to what Eberhard has written and where he is articulating
his own ideas. Identifying new unexplored lines of research, this
translation provides a deeper understanding of Kant's explicitly
religious doctrines and his central moral writings, such as the
Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and the Critique of
Practical Reason. Accompanied by Kant's previously untranslated
handwritten notes on Eberhard's text as well as the Danzig
transcripts of Kant's course on rational theology, Preparation for
Natural Theology features a dual English-German / German-English
glossary, a concordance and an introduction situating the book in
relation to 18th-century theology and philosophy. This is a
significant contribution to twenty-first century Kantian studies.
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.
Baumgarten and Kant on Metaphysics explores the metaphysics of
Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (17141762) and its decisive influence
on Immanuel Kant. For over a century, scholars have recognized the
significance of Baumgarten's Metaphysics, both because of its
impact on Kant's intellectual development, and because of the way
it fundamentally informed the work of generations of German
philosophers, including Moses Mendelssohn, Thomas Abbt, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Solomon Maimon, Johann August Eberhard, and
arguably even Georg Friedrich Hegel. However, Baumgarten's
Metaphysics has only recently become available in reliable German
and English translations; as such, many scholars have been excluded
from the discussion and the significance of Baumgarten's work has
remained largely unexplored. Thus with the appearance of these
translations, interest in Baumgarten's work has surged. This
collection provides an anchor for this emerging discussion by
presenting chapters by some of the scholars most responsible for
Baumgarten's current reputation, together with some of the best
young scholars in this emerging field.

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.
