Note on the Text
This
work was originally
published in 1783. It was translated into English by Paul Carus in 1902.
The text posted here is based on the Carus translation. Spelling
has been modernized and it incorporates numerous revisions to the Carus
translation, combining revisions independently made by James W. Ellington
(1977) and James Fieser (1997). The Carus translation is in the public domain and may be freely reproduced.
Section numbering was included in the original text. The
page numbers to the left of the text refer to the standard edition
of the German text of the Prolegomena (the Akademie
edition, vol. IV, Berlin, 1911). Minor
footnotes have been incorporated into the text. Longer footnotes
(including Kant's original notes) are
placed at the end of the appropriate unit of text. |
