LAMBERT, Johann Heinrich.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Anlage zur Architectonic, First edition, in which Lambert proposed "a far-reaching reform of metaphysics, stemming from discontent with the Wolffian system. Modelled on mathematical procedures, the body of general sciences so constructed was to be true both logically and metaphysically" (Dewerff, p. 515).This was Lambert's second philosophical opus, following the Neues Organon of 1764. Kant was much influenced by Lambert and helped him to publish this work. Kant intended to dedicate the Critique of Pure Reason to Lambert but was prevented by his untimely death.
