title: Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View
author:  Immanuel Kant 
description: <div>"There are many insights into Kant&#8217; s own character and his philosophical orientation. . . . There are a helpful introduction, extensive notes both on the content and on details of translation, and an index. The book is comparable to Kant&#8217; s <i>Lectures on Ethics </i>(1780). . . . though briefer and more lively and accessible. It is a good introduction to Kant&#8217; s philosophy and a valuable supplement to Kant collections at all levels."<i>&#8212; Choice<br><br></i></div>
