Ludwig Ernst Borowski was an early student of Kant's and later close acquaintance. The following comes from his biography of Kant:. I attended his first lecture in He lived then in the house of Professor Kypke, [1] in the Neustadt, where he had a spacious lecture hall. This, as well as the stairway and the entrance hall, was filled with a nearly unbelievable number of students. This seemed to make Kant quite embarrassed. Unused to this situation, he nearly lost his composure, speaking even more softly than usual and often correcting himself. But this just increased our admiration of the man whom we presumed to have the most wide-ranging learnedness and who seemed to us merely modest, rather than afraid. Things were already quite different by the next lecture. His delivery was, just as in the lectures that followed, not only thorough, but also liberal-minded and pleasant. The textbook upon which he more or less based his lectures was never followed closely, and only such that he arranged his own teaching according to the ordering of the author. The fullness of his learning often led him into digressions, that were still always quite interesting. He often brought a special, hand-written notebook, besides his textbook, whose margins were filled with notes. Admittedly it was necessary to pay close attention to his lectures. Everything must be carefully noted, as is only reasonable. He was not keen on taking notes. It bothered him when he noticed that more important material was being overlooked, while the less important was being noted down; also other things bothered him, e. Seldom did teachers warn students from this as often and as earnestly as did Kant. Doubt from students and requests for a closer explanation, he accepted in his early years most agreeably. Even his lectures were a free discussion spiced with and good humor. Often citations and references to writings that he had just read; occasional anecdotes which, however, always suited the material.

M. Kuehn, Dating Kant's 'Vorlesungen?ber philosophische Enzyklop?die', in: Kant.Bock goes on to recall an especially lively lecture where Kant was quoting from his favorite poets Pope and Haller to illuminate certain points on the nature of time and eternity. He is not married, and lives out his quiet life with an old man-servant and a female cook who is just as old. But his student had made a certain promise to come. IV Halle: This I have done in a semester-long course [presumably SS ] to the satisfaction of my students. Wir hörten gemeinschaftlich die Kantischen Vorlesungen und er schrieb mir darüber noch unterm Jacobi of 23 April [repr.

Kypke Hause, auf der Neustadt und hatte hier einen geräumigen Hörsaal, der samt dem Vorhause und der Treppe mit einer beinahe unglaublichen Menge von Studierenden angefüllt war. Could he have used another textbook? Da suche ich alsdenn mehr Phänomena u. Of the newer books, of course, the most have a philosophical content, and a significant quantity of those are occasioned by the Kantian philosophy. Third, the much shorter Auszug pp. Reprint of 1st edition: Topos Verlag, Ich hätte zwar nicht von selbst auf den recensenten gerathen ietzt aber vergnügt mich der darinn hervorblickende Fortgang seiner Geschicklichkeit. Jachmann is likely mistaken in his claim that Kant oversaw this collection. So some students, mainly from Curland, wanted him to offer a course on aesthetics and lessons on German eloquence. Vor dieser Zeit dencke ich indessen doch ein Lehrbuch der Metaphysik nach obigen critischen Grundsätzen und zwar mit aller Kürze eines Handbuchs, zum Behuf academischer Vorlesungen, nach und nach auszuarbeiten und in einer nicht zu bestimmenden, vielleicht ziemlich entferneten Zeit, fertig zu schaffen. Borowski claimed in that Kant lectured on logic from Baumeister originally, later turning to Meier [Reicke , 32; repr.

Mir ist nie ein Mann vorgekommen, der so über Alles sprechen und mit so viel Präcision und so neu sprechen könnte. Students from other faculties also came to him in droves, all guided by him to an understanding of themselves and of humans in general, to a striving for truth and uprightness. One semester there were so few students for this lecture that he wanted to cancel it, but when he learned that the assembled students were almost all in theology, he lectured anyway, even though for much less pay. I readily admit that we do not yet have a philosophy following this method, such that would really teach students, nor especially ontology — that most excellent teacher of great prospects has become a mere web of jargon! The Hesse notes stem from the SS lectures and still include the section on Europe, so the relationship with the anthropology lectures is rather compelling. Your wise and good advice by itself has helped my literary cultivation, which soon allowed me to see my art from a higher perspective, and your noble disinterest with which you gave me the freedom to attend your lectures helped me, if not to the philosophical cultivation that I would now certainly draw from being near you, but to the attentiveness and to the love of contemplation, which has now put me in a better position to be instructed by your excellent works.
