Reseña del editor: Excerpt from Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics

The present translation is practically new, but it goes without saying that the editor utilised the labors of his predecessors. Among whom Prof. John P. Mahafiy and john H. Bernard deserve special credit. Richardson's translation of 1818 may be regarded as super seded and has not been consulted. But occasional reference has been made to that of Prof. Ernest Belfort Bax. Considering the difficulties under which even these translators labored we must recognise the fact that they did their work well. With painstaking diligence. Great love of the subject. And good judgment. The editor of the present translation has the advantage of being to the manor born; moreover. He is pretty well versed in Kant's style; and wherever he difiers from his predecessors in the interpretation of a construction. He has deviated from them not without good rea sons. Nevertheless there are some passages which will still re main doubtful. Though happily they are of little consequence.
