Critik der practischen Vernunft (Critique of Practical Reason).
Riga: Johann Friedrich Hartknoch, 1792. SECOND EDITION 1 Blank leaf + TP + [3]-292 + 1 blank leaf, small Octavo. Warda 114. According to Rosenkranz, this edition contains a number of important textural changes from the first edition. The second major Critik, in which Kant undertakes a more elaborate survey of moral concepts and assumptions than in his Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten 1785). "The Critique of Practical Reason aims at the coordination of human intellect and conscience, stressing that moral action may be accompanied by pleasure, but should on no account be determined by it. Moral conduct should be guided only by criterion of duty, which Kant considered the sole foundation of human freedom, this concept resting upon the submission of the individual will to the sublime moral law." (Garden Ltd., #162) Contemporary leather boards a bit worn, especially on the edges. Rebacked with modern leather strip with gilt lettering. Small bookplate on inside front cover. A bit foxed. Otherwise, quite lovely. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
