Produktbeschreibung

Salomo Friedlaender was a prolific German-Jewish philosopher, poet, and satirist. His Kant for Children is intended to help young people learn about Immanuel Kant's philosophy. Friedlaender writes, "Morality is inherent in us organically. But its abstract formula should be imprinted on schoolchildren."

Published in 1924, 200 years after Kant's birth, the book sparked interest in some quarters, attracting the attention of the first Newbery Award winner, Hendrik Willem van Loom, who corresponded with Friedlaender in 1933 requesting an English translation. That didn't happen. This is the first English translation of the book. During the National Socialist period, Kant for Children troubled the Nazis. They banned Friedlaender's work. Rebecca Hanf, friend of Ernst Marcus, the philosopher who claimed to have resurrected Kant, recognized that Friedlaender's Kant for Children could counter the Nazi appropriation of Kant and realign Kant with egalitarianism and anti-fascist politics, meaning the book has contemporary relevance in light of an international resurgence of fascism. A lifelong student of Kant's works, Friedlaender deserves a wider audience among Kant scholars and students.

The book also includes an introduction to Salomo Friedländer. Furthermore, eminent scholars address the following topics: philosophy and the public; philosophy and education; Kant and the impact of his philosophy on the world at large.

For translating and editing Kant for Children, Bruce Krajewski received The 2023 Silvers Grant for Work in Progress from the Robert B. Silvers Foundation. The Robert B. Silvers Foundation is a charitable trust established by a bequest of the late Robert B. Silvers, a founding editor of the New York Review of Books, with the aim of supporting writers in the fields of long-form literary and arts criticism, the intellectual essay, political analysis, and social reportage.
