Features: Kant's works are renowned for their obscure language, which not only stems from the profound nature of his philosophical thoughts but also from the linguistic gap between the German of Kant's time and modern German. Moreover, Kant lived in K?nigsberg in East Prussia, a relatively culturally underdeveloped area. Kant's German, both in grammar and syntax, clearly bears the imprint of the Prussian dialect. The content of this book covers discussions on the force of objects, research on Leibniz's doctrine of vis viva, what makes a new measurement of vis viva become the true measure of nature, research on the Earth's rotation around its axis, and whether the Earth has aged.
