Summary

This is both the latest and the briefest of the lecture transcriptions published in Volume 25 of the Akademie Ausgabe, comprising about 100 printed pages in that edition. It was apparently the work of a single transcriber. This text is fragmentary, and omits the organizing divisions found in Friedländer, Menschenkunde and Mrongovius. But it seems to follow the same general pattern as the other lecture transcriptions, both early and late, covering first the theoretical faculty, then the faculty of taste, and finally the faculty of desire.

The selections here are from the introductory remarks about methodology, self-consciousness and obscure (or unconscious) representations, and also from Kant's first mention of the three maxims of thinking, presented in several of his later published works: the Critique of the Power of Judgment, Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, and the Jäsche Logic.
