Features: Kant's works are known for their obscure language, which not only stems from the complexity of his philosophical thoughts but also from the gap between the German language of Kant's time and modern German. Moreover, Kant lived in K?nigsberg in East Prussia, which was relatively a culturally underdeveloped area. Kant's German, whether in grammar or syntax, clearly bears the marks of the Prussian dialect. The content of this book discusses 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.
