Summary
Immanuel Kant: Anthropology in a pragmatic view
With lectures on "anthropology in a pragmatic view" - and he published them himself in 1798 - Kant started at the same time as working on the Critique of Pure Mind, he held them for almost thirty years and thus introduced anthropology to the university. That text contains a wealth of insights that inspired philosophers such as Fichte, Hegel, Marx and many others. Kant's anthropology was updated in the so-called with the "anthropological turn" in philosophy at the beginning of the 20th century (M. Scheler, H. Plessner) and again in the 60s in discussions about postmodernism by J.-F. Lyotard, and in the works of M. Foucault (History of Madness), Marquard, Bohme and others. The work has been translated into many languages (there are as many as four translations in French), and we consider this first translation into Croatian to be our contribution to marking the two hundredth anniversary of the philosopher's death (1804-2004).
