KANT, Immanuel, Prolegomena zu einer jeden funftigen Metaphysik (Prolegomena towards a Future Metaphysics), Johann Friedrich Hartknoch, Riga, 1783. 1 blank leaf + TP + [3] - 222 + 1 blank leaf. First Edition, First Printing [Warda 75].This, Kant's defense of his Critik der reinen Vernunft, is considered by many to be his most beautiful and comprehensive book. It continues to be read and admired as one of his most concise and approachable works.The book was written primarily to remove some of the misunderstandings and bewilderment that had greeted the release of the first edition of the Critik in 1781. Kant felt that he had been severely misunderstood and hence, unfairly criticized most especially by Garve in his review of the book in the Göttinger Gelehrten Anzeiger.The principal contents of the Prolegomena were subsequently incorporated by Kant into the second edition of the Critik der reinen Vernunft in 1787.First printing with the floriated bar headpiece on page [3] (rather than the second and third printings that have the two cherubs headpiece - Warda 76 & 77) and the floriated bar on page 222 (rather than a small ornamental piece with climbing flora - Warda 77). Page 29 misidentified as page 92 (this seems to indicate an issue point that precedes Warda 75) Finally, on page 78, line 8 the word "subjektiv" appears rather than "objektiv" which was corrected in the two later printings.CONDITION: Very good in contemporary paper-covered boards. Spine with pale yellow morocco label. Very light bumping and minimal foxing. Ink presentation inscription dated 1910 to front pastedown. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.…
