TP + Dedication Page + [V]-XXX + half-title + [3]-205 + I blank leaf, Octavo. First Edition, (Warda 193).Kant's three essays on the dispute between the faculties of Philosophy, Medicine, Law and Theology, tries to reconcile these last three with philosophy, while simultaneously examining the relationship of each to governmental policies and human affairs. Kant examines the conflict between theology and religious faith and how philosophy and reason deal with both. And he asks the questions: "Is the human race improving? And, if not, what then?" The last essay was previously published in Von der Macht der Gemuths. Contemporary card covers with a label affixed to the spine identifying the author and title. Spine much darkened by the sun and expertly repaired a few places where it was previously cracking. Some soiling to front and back boards and a lightly darkened stain across the top of the rear board With two handwritten entries and two smudged ink stains on the title page. With neat, contemporary handwritten ink marginalia on just a few pages. A well-travelled but charming and uncut copy of this fascinating work by Kant. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
