First edition of this seminal work by the Austrian philosopher Karl Leonhard Reinhold (1757–1823), first professor of Critical Philosophy at the University of Jena from 1787 and one of the earliest and most influential popularizers of Kant. In this book he argues that Kant’s philosophy needed a clearer and more systematic foundation based on a single basic principle, and he presents his own so-called “Elementary Philosophy”. Rather than focusing on ethics the work examines how human consciousness and knowledge function. The book had a strong influence on Reinhold’s contemporaries, especially Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and played an important role in the development of post-Kantian German idealism.
