Summary
Introduction
The present Introduction to this review will simply paraphrase the Introduction of the editor by the Academy Edition, Paul Menzer. The review was included as an appendix in AK 8 because Kraus testifies that he has made use of a short essay by Kant. On this basis Vaihinger had the review published (in volume 16 of Philosophische Monatschefte, 1880, pp. 193–208) under the title “A Hitherto Unknown Essay by Kant on Freedom” and attempted a reconstruction of Kant's contribution to it. Menzer forgoes such a reconstruction but thinks that Vaihinger's opinion that the beginning of the review in particular may be traced to Kant may be correct. Kant's notes for the review are to be found in 23:79–81 (Vorarbeit zur Ulrich Rezension).
Kraus's review invites comparison with Kant's own review, in 1783 (8:9–14), of the book by Schulz to which Kraus refers. A translation of Kant's review is included in this volume.
I am indebted to Sharon Byrd and Jan Jörden for their assistance with an earlier draft of this translation.
