Descripción

First edition. 'Wasianski was Kant's caretaker and daily companion in the last years of his life, and gives a simple and accurate account of these years' (Adickes 2798). 'After Wasianski left the University of Königsberg in 1780, he had no contact with Kant for a decade, meeting him again only in 1790 at a wedding reception. Kant seems to have invited him immediately to his regular dinner parties, and gradually came to rely on him. Over the years he entrusted him with more and more of his personal business. Indeed, Wasianski ultimately earned Kant's complete trust. Having been chosen by Kant as his personal secretary and helper, as well as executor of his will, he knew the aged Kant's circumstances very well' (Kühn, Kant: A Biography, p. 7). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Small 8vo, 224 pp., slightly later marbled boards with red spine label, title-page age-toned and with shelfmark at top, some unobtrusive marginal reading marks in pencil, still a very good copy overall.
