 Other indications of sentimentalism’s influence can be found in Kant’s notes and lectures from that period. For example, in the announcement of his lectures for the winter semester of 1765–1766, he asserts that “the distinction between good and evil in actions, and the judgment of moral rightness, can be known, easily and accurately, by the human heart through what is called sentiment, and that without elaborate necessity of proofs” (WS 2:311). In the same announcement, he states his intention to develop and clarify “the attempts of Shaftesbury, Hutcheson and Hume, which, though imperfect and defective, have nevertheless come farthest in the discovery of the first principles of all morality” (WS 2:311). Similarly, in notes that appear to come from between 1764 and 1768, Kant writes, “[t]he rules of morality proceed from a special, eponymous feeling, upon which the understanding is guided…” (NF 19:93 #6581).
