EDITIONS.--Complete editions of Kant's works are as follows: (1) G.
Hartenstein (Leipzig, 1838-1839, 10 vols.); (2) K. Rosenkranz and F.
W. Schubert (Leipzig, 1838-1840, 12 vols., the 12th containing a
history of the Kantian school); (3) G. Hartenstein, "in chronological
order" (Leipzig, 1867-1869, 8 vols.); (4) Kirchmann (in the
"Philosophische Bibliothek," Berlin, 1868-1873, 8 vols, and
supplement); (5) under the auspices of the Koniglich Preussische
Akademie der Wissenschaften, a new collected edition was begun in 1900
(vol. ii., 1906) in charge of a number of editors. It was planned in
four sections: Works, Letters, MSS. Remains and _Vorlesungen_. There
are also useful editions of the three _Kritiks_ by Kehrbach, and
critical editions of the _Prolegomena_ and _Kritik der reinen
Vernunft_ by B. Erdmann (see also his _Beitrage zur Geschichte und
Revision des Textes von Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft_ (1900). A
useful selection (in English) is that of John Watson, _The Philosophy
of Kant_ (Glasgow, 1888).
