For forty years Kant used the \u003ci\u003eExcerpts\u003c\/i\u003e as the basis of his lectures on logic making extensive notes on his copy of the text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore than a text on formal logic, \u003ci\u003eExcerpt from the Doctrine of Reason\u003c\/i\u003e covers epistemology and the elements of thought and language Meier believed made human understanding possible. Working across the two dominant intellectual forces in modern philosophy, the rationalist and the empiricist traditions, Meier's work was also instrumental to the introduction of English philosophy into Germany; he was among the first German philosophers to study John Locke's philosophy in depth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis complete English translation of Meier's influential textbook is introduced by Riccardo Pozzo and enhanced by a glossary and a concordance correlating Meier's arguments to Kant's logic lectures, the related \u003ci\u003eReflexionen \u003c\/i\u003eand the\u003ci\u003e Jäsche Logic\u003c\/i\u003e of 1800 - the text considered of fundamental importance to Kant's philosophy. For scholars of Kant, Locke and the German Enlightenment, this valuable translation and its accompanying material presents the richest source of information available on Meier and his 18th-century work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorg Friedrich Meier\u003c\/b\u003e (1718-1777) was a German philosopher, a student of Alexander Baumgarten and a principle architect of the post-Leibnizian rationalism that dominated German-speaking universities through the Eighteenth Century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Bunch\u003c\/b\u003e is a translator.
