Extract

Most of the works by Kant referred to in the text are cited by abbreviations. To find the full title of any work, the reader should look first at the ‘List of abbreviations’ below. For each abbreviation, the ‘List’ gives the year of publication and a short title. To find the full titles in both German and English, the reader should then refer to the bibliography entitled ‘Kant's published writings’ (pp. 418–27). Other works by Kant are cited in the text by means of a short title and year of publication. To find full titles, the reader should refer directly to the year of publication in the bibliography of ‘Kant's published writings’. Citations of particular sections of text by Kant usually specify the unit referred to (whether by page or by section, §). There is one important exception: references to the Critique of Pure Reason. Kant produced two editions of this work: the first edition (published in 1781) is cited as CPR A, the second, revised edition (published in 1787) as CPR B. Following convention, citations refer to one or both editions by page, but omit ‘p.’ (e.g., CPR A 324/B 380). Where an abbreviation is followed by two page numbers (e.g., GMM p. 425, p. 33), the first refers to the German ‘Academy Edition’, the second to an English translation – both as listed in the bibliography of ‘Kant's published writings’. Works by other authors are cited by reference to author ... log in or subscribe to read full text
