Immanuel Kant and its relation with Literature in general

SITUATION F

that text A has been quoted following different editions, with different page numbers or catalogue numbers.


difficulty

to know who and where a text has been quoted, independently of the edition used; for example, page 532 of the Kritik der reinen Vernunft in the third volume of Hartenstein's edition (1867).

solution


One of the DscD's aims is to overcome the difficulty of quoting a document whose page numerations belong to different editions. The solution will allow the user to follow the influences that a text could have suffered, independently of the used editions by the author. As you know, this is really important when dealing with classic authors' work. This is what I have done with Kant's published work concerning original editions and those of Rosenkranz, Hartenstein, Kirchmann, Akademie, Vorländer, Cassirer and Weischedel, following the work done by N. Hinske and W. Weischedel in their Kant-Seitenkonkordanz (1970).
