Los últimos días de Emmanuel Kant

Synopsis of Los últimos días de Emmanuel Kant

In 'The Last Days of Emmanuel Kant', Thomas De Quincey offers a biographical study that delves into the life of the German philosopher. Through the figure of Wasianski, a disciple and assistant of Kant in his final years, De Quincey explores the thinker's identity in full decline. This essay, considered a literary gem, also portrays the personality of Wasianski, author of the work 'Emmanuel Kant in his last years of life', on which this analysis is based. The edition is complemented by Kantian anecdotes and the writing 'On Kant's Skull' by Dr. Wilhelm Gottlieb Kelch.
