In this new, expanded edition, two important texts illustrating Kants's view of history are included for the first time: his reviews of Herder's Ideas on the Philosophy of The History of Mankind and Conjectures on the Beginning of Human History; as well as the essay What is Orientation in Thinking. In addition to a general introduction assessing Kant's political thought in terms of his fundamental principles of politics, this edition also contains such useful student aids as notes on the texts, a comprehensive bibliography, and a new postscript, looking at some of the principal issues in Kantian scholarship that have arisen since first publication. 700 1 Reiss, Hans Siegbert. 740 0 Political writings. 830 0 Cambridge texts in the history of political thought 856 40 |yTable of contents |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam028/90001453.html
