About this book

Kant's argument against pirated reprints of books rests on one idea: whoever puts a book on sale acts in the author's name, not in his own. From that he builds two proofs, one setting out the editor's right against the counterfeiter and one refuting the counterfeiter's claimed right against the editor, each with a major and a minor premise. The version here follows an English translation printed in London in 1798, in a two-volume set of his essays.

Immanuel Kant

Kant spent his entire life in Königsberg, never travelled more than about a hundred miles from it, and kept a routine so regular that neighbours were said to set their clocks by his afternoon walk.
