N2  - First published in 1970, this much-acclaimed collection of the political writings of Immanuel Kant has new been revised and expanded for publication in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. Three important texts are translated here for the first time, and Professor Reiss has added, in addition to an extended bibliography, a substantial postscript, looking at recent developments in Kantian scholarship and the changes that these have wrought in our understanding of Kant's political thought
