Immanuel Kant
Kant developed his moral philosophy in three works: "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals" (1785), "Critique of Practical Reason" (1788), and "Metaphysics of Morals" (1797).
Christian Garve
Of interest is his engagement with Immanuel Kant, which was initiated by a review of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" in the "Göttinger Gelehrten Anzeigen" ("Göttingen Learned Advertiser") which had been shortened by the Göttingen philosopher Johann Georg Heinrich Feder. Kant felt himself to have been misunderstood, and complained bitterly about the review in the Appendix to his Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics that Will Henceforth Come Forward as a Science. When the original, longer review was published by Garve in the "Allgemeine Deutsche Bibliothek" ("General German Library"), it still attracted Kant's censure. Kant consequently wrote his own "Anti-Garve". This program in time expanded into Kant's "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals". The intellectual engagement between Kant and Garve extended up to Garve's death of cancer in 1798.
