Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Metaphysical Works, of the Celebrated, Immanuel Kant, Translated From Sketch of His Life and Writings
It is not augmenting the sciences, but disfiguring them, when their boundaries are allowed to encroach on one another. For which reason, and as logic is a science, wherein nothing is fully shewn and strictly proved but the formal rules of all thinking, and as we by consequence abstract in it from all objects of knowledge, as well as from their difference, our author has left us his logic free from every extraneous admixture of either ontological, or anthropological, or psychological, or metaphysical matter.
Whoever has but a clear and distinct conception of the proper nature of this science, will soon discover the great difference between Kant's Logic and all former treatises on the same subject, not only by its being purer and more systematical, but, for ail its scientific strictness of method, by its being simpler, and divested of many of the tinsel trappings of mood and of figure. The translator therefore conceives himself warrantable in presenting it to the English public.
