The letters of Kant are an integral part of Kant's philosophical thought, which forms the process of Kant's philosophical thought in a dynamic way. They are also a faithful witness to Kant's life and career. This book selects one hundred important letters from different periods of Kant's life, reflecting his writings, teaching, communication, religion, morality, and other aspects. The book also includes three short essays by Kant on the issues of freedom and enlightenment, which are excellent materials for studying and understanding Kant's thoughts and life.
So far, more than 300 letters from Kant have been discovered. This book, "The Hundred Letters of Kant," is mainly selected from volumes 10-13 of the Complete Works of Kant published by the Academy of Sciences, which is the second part, and translated based on this version. In addition, the compilation process also referred to the selection of the first and 50th letters from J. Cai Bei's "Collection of Letters from Kant"; K. Flanders compiled "Kant and His Undertaking"; R. Eisler's "Kantian Dictionary"; Arlin Guliuga's "Kant's Biography", translated into Chinese.
Kant's letters are an important component of Kant's philosophical thought system. They not only contain many important explanations and interpretations of Kant's own philosophical system, forming an important supplement to Kant's philosophical works, but also dynamically reproduce the process of Kant's philosophical thought formation. At the same time, they are also faithful witnesses to Kant's life and career. How to successfully embody Kant's thoughts and life in these limited hundred letters is a demanding task. In terms of compilation, the principle followed by compilers is: on the one hand, they should try to select stable letters that are most valuable for studying Kant's thoughts and life as much as possible, and on the other hand, they should also take into account the continuity of Kant's life in different periods to avoid blank spaces. Therefore, they adopted the method of chronicles in terms of format, that is, arranging them in chronological order.
