Transition 1-14
Transition 1-14 is a draft from the context of the posthumous handwritten work drafts of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant . As part of the "Akademie Ausgabe" Kant's collected writings, published by the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Berlin 1900ff. Transition 1-14 was edited together with the other drafts and loose sheets that belong to the legacy work, as well as a few handwritten notes on other works, in volumes XXI and XXII under the title "Opus postumum".
chronology
After Kant's death in 1804, the drafts of the legacy work - including transition 1–14 - went through several hands together with parts of the rest of the legacy in manuscript form, whereby the arrangement of the drafts originally intended by Kant was canceled. The contents of the bundles in which Kant had summarized the drafts was reversed, and in some cases the respective owners added new classification designations to the bundles and drafts, which contributed to further confusion. In 1916, the Kant researcher Erich Adickes was able to reconstruct the original arrangement of the Kantian autograph by comparing the handwriting, the inks and the paper used, and a chronology of the drafts was created. Since at the time of the edition of the so-called Opus postumum within the framework of the Academy edition in 1936 and 1938 it could not be ensured whether Adicke's chronology would not be refuted or questioned by later research, the editors decided Gerhard Lehmann (philosopher ) and Artur Buchenau for the diplomatic arrangement of the manuscript. The drafts were edited in the order adopted by the estate administrators, which makes working with Kant's estate work difficult. Therefore, Adicke's Chronology was added to Volume XXI of the Academy Edition.
Transition 1–14 was created according to Adicke's dating in the months of May to August of 1799 as the ninth coherent draft of the estate.
In the meantime, the chronology of the drafts of the posthumous opus presented by Adickes is considered to be binding among Kant researchers and the philological processing of the posthumous drafts he carried out as largely completed.
