Kritik der praktischen Vernunft (Riga: Johann Friedrich Hartknoch, 1788), 292 pp. [Ak. 5:1-164] “Critique of Practical Reason.” Translated by Lewis White Beck, Immanuel Kant: Critique of Practical Reason & Other Writings in Moral Philosophy (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1949). Translated by Mary J. Gregor in Immanuel Kant, Practical Philosophy, edited by Mary J. Gregor (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), pp. 139-271. Kant sent the manuscript to the printers (Grünert, in Halle) in the summer of 1787 (letter to C. G. Schütz, 25 June 1787: “I intend to send it to Halle for printing next week” (Ak. 10:490); letter to L. H. Jakob, 11 September 1787: “My Critique of Practical Reason is at Grunert’s now” (Ak. 10:494). Originally given to Wasianski as a gift, Kant’s own copy of this book is available in Halle's university archive. Kant’s marginalia are recorded in the “Lesarten” printed in Ak. 5, & a complete set of facsimilies of this copy is available at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences.

Die Metaphysik der Sitten in zwei Teilen (Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1797); 2nd edition: 1798. [Ak. 6:205-355, 373-493] “The Metaphysics of Morals.” Translated by Mary J. Gregor in Immanuel Kant, Practical Philosophy, edited by Mary J. Gregor (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), pp. 365-603. The two parts were published separately (in January and August, respectively): Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Rechtslehre (235 pp) and Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Tugendlehre (190 pp). The following year, apart from a scarcely altered second edition of the Rechtslehre (which does, however, include an appendix that replies to Bouterwek’s review of the Rechtslehre that appeared 18 Feb 1797) Kant also published: Erläuternde Anmerkungen zu den metaphysischen Anfangsgründen der Rechtslehre (Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1798), 31 pp. [Ak. 6:356-72]. “Explanatory Notes on the Metaphysical Foundations of the Doctrine of Right.” The Rechtslehre suffered from some textual corruptions at the printers [Mautner 1981]; a reconstruction of the text has been attempted in Bern Ludwig’s recent edition (Hamburg: Meiner Verlag, 1986).
