Immanuel Kants captivating lectures on anthropology, delivered at the University of Königsberg between 1772 and 1773 and again from 1795 to 1796, delve into the complexities of human nature. His thought-provoking discussions encompass cognition, the senses, and the intricate relationship between the soul and mind. Published in 1798, these lectures found their way into English through The Journal of Speculative Philosophy in 1867, covering volumes 9 to 16. While Ive managed to gather sections 1-37 and section 43, sections 38-42 and 44-46 remain mysteriously absent. This work marks the beginning of Kants extensive exploration of human understanding. One of my favorite quotes highlights the profound connection between law and psychology “If someone has purposely caused a disaster, and it is questionable whether he is at all, or in what degree he is to be blamed for it, and whether or not he was insane at the time of the commission of the deed, the court should not refer him to the medical facility... but to the philosophical faculty.” (Summary by Craig Campbell)Copyright Assorted Non Fiction Philosophy Science Social Sciences
