Abstract

The first full English translation of Friedrich Theodor Rink's edition of Kant's Physical Geography was finally published in 2012, and several significant transcriptions of Kant's classroom lectures on physical geography are still forthcoming in volume 26 of the German Academy edition of his Collected Writings. Why has Kant's work on geography suffered from so much neglect? Contrary to received scholarly wisdom, I argue that the main cause of the neglect is not Rink's editorial sloppiness. Rather, Kant's Geography is simply not viewed as being as important as his ethics, logic, metaphysics, theology, and anthropology. In my paper I argue that Kant's Geography deserves our respect, and I present four key reasons for taking it seriously.
