publication in 1831 of a transcript of Kant's lectures and a book giving advice on
how to know man and world, based on lecture transcripts, not much happened.
Volume 15 (1913) of the Academy edition, which contains Kant's very own re¬
flections on anthropological subjects, represented a further step toward a better
knowledge of Kant's anthropological views, but the different transcripts of Kant's
lectures on anthropology had to wait until 1997. They are now available in vol. 25
of the Academy edition.

lin: Akademie Verlag, 1993), p. 326. See also Jachmann, Kant, p. 126, and Rink,
Ansichten, p. 33.
- Arnoldt, "Möglichst vollständiges Verzeichnis," pp. 22of.
- The group of academic citizens was much larger than the group made up of stu¬
dent and faculty. See pp. 438-439 of this volume. The dean was a temporary
member of the senate. As one of the four most senior professors, Kant became a
permanent member of the senate in 1780.
- Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, I, p. 44 and Euler, "Kants Amtsgeschäfte," p. 75. Kant
was dean in the summer semester of 1776, the winter semesters of 1779-80,1782-
83, 1785-86, 1787-88, the summer semester of 1791, and the winter semester of
1794-95-
- Reicke, Kantiana, p. 19 (Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. I32f). See also
Euler and Dietzsch, "Prüfungspraxis und Universitätsreform in Königsberg,"
pp. 99—101. Euler and Dietzsch show that Kant did not, in fact, allow everyone
to pass.
- Jachmann, Kant, p. 146 (Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. 22if). This was
in 1783. Jachmann contradicted, however, what the others said. He said that he
had the reputation of being strict. Kant may have been stricter the second time
around.
- He was first teaching at the Löbenichts school, but later became vice principal at
the Altstädtische Gymnasium. Since he was no longer allowed to teach at the uni¬
versity (at least in part because of Kant; his invectives against Kant must have been
pervasive). It is also interesting that the director was not alone in his fear. The "In¬
spector of the school shared it," and he took on the task. This episode by itself
explains why Jachmann thought Kant was "strict."
- On Basedow, see pp. 227-229 of this volume. See Stark, Nachforschungen, pp. 327f.
- It appeared in Königsberg in 1780.
- Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, I, p. 227.
- In an unpublished anthropology manuscript (Dohna) Kant points out that "it was
Basedow's failure that he drank too much Malaga [wine]."
- Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, Werke und Briefe in drei Bänden, ed. Sigrid Damm
(München/Wien: Hanser Verlag, 1987), III, pp. 83C The entire poem consists of
twelve verses.
- Lenz, Werke und Briefe, II, p. 499. He also claimed that faith is a "complementum
moralitatis," just as did Kant (p. 513).
- Not all of Lenz's theory is Kant, of course. Lenz thought that perfection and hap¬
piness (in accordance with perfection) were the two pillars of moral philosophy.
The essay was written in Straßburg, not long after Lenz had left Königsberg.
