THE PHILOSOPHICAL REVIEW.
[Vol. III.

125] Kant's services to philosophy, and adopts [pp. 39, ff.] his table of categories. For the rest, Zöllner's popular investigations into Origin, End, Use, Harm, Publicity of Speculation, deviate too widely from those of Kant, for these latter to have been able to exercise an influence upon them in matters of detail.)

1790.


741c-h) Abicht, J. H. Cf. nos. 410-414, 416.

741i-k) A. L. Z. Cf. nos. 515, 561, 717.

741l) Auswahl der besten Aufsätze über Kantische Philosophie. Cf. no. 242.

742) Bahrdt, K. F.: Katechismus der natürlichen Religion als Grundlage eines jeden Unterrichts in der Moral und Religion zum Gebrauch für Aeltern, Prediger, Lehrer und Zöglinge. 8vo. Halle. Francke & Bispink. pp. 204. Second and enlarged edition. 8vo. Görlitz. 1795. Hermsdorf & Anton, pp. x, 242. (Kant's moral proofs of the existence of God and of immortality are employed.)

743) Besecke, J. Mlch. Gli.: Probe eines kritischen Commentars über Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft. 8vo. Mitau. Steffenhagen. pp. 31. New and titular edition. Riga. 1792. Müller. (Completely worthless. The R. V. is not digested; the polemic weak and ineffectual.)

744) Beyträge, Monatliche—zur Philosophie, Menschenkenntniss und Erziehungskunst. 8vo. Berlin. Matzdorf. Part I, no. 2. Ueber die menschliche Erkenntniss überhaupt und die philosophische insbesondere. Part II, no. I. Ueber einige Stellen in Hn. Reinhold's Briefen über die Kantische Philosophie. Part III, no. 4. Ueber Hrn. Kants Criterien der Erkenntnisse a priori. (The author is, it is true, an admirer of Kant, but diverges from him on many points. The pure reason, e.g., is said to know things-in-themselves by the aid of merely negative characteristics. The Beyträge appear to have been, as they deserved, in little demand, for they failed to appear after the third part.)

745) Bildung, Ueber die erste thierische—nach Kantischen Grundsätzen. In the Braunschweigisches Journal. 1790. November, pp. 331-338. (Generation is explained in accordance with the teleological system of epigenesis, and referred ultimately to God.)

746) Block, G. Wlh.: Versuch vollständiger Prolegomena zur Philosophie. 8vo. Ratzeburg. 1790. pp. 231. (Experience is the source of philosophy, but reason passes beyond it to judgments of analogy as to the not-to-be-experienced. Judgments and conclusions rest on the laws of the understanding, and derive their necessity from these, although they too are only known by experience. Through judgments of analogy we arrive at speculative, although not demonstrative knowledge of God and immortality.
