Synopsis

Very few biographies of Kant exist. The Neo-Kantian movement renewed interest in his life. During the last half of the 19th century, John Henry Wilbrandt Stuckenberg provided an eminently readable biography of Kant, as seen from a sympathetic, yet detached viewpoint. This well-rounded depiction of his life includes a discussion of Kant's work, which, while at variance with current understanding, is still worth pondering. Originally published in 1882 by Macmillan, this edition contains a new preface by Rolf George.

About this title

Review

...stands head and shoulders above anything that had gone before, and is well worth reading even now. English readers who want to learn about Kant's life, and find Cassirer's work...too austere, could do no better. No one interested in Kant will regard this book with anything but affection.--Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
