Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (German: Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht) is a non-fiction book by German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The work was developed from lecture notes for a number of successful classes taught by Kant from 1772 to 1796 at the Albertus Universität in then Königsberg, Germany. While nominally detailing the nature of anthropology as a field, it additionally discusses a variety of topics in terms of Kantian thought. In the context of the historical development of philosophical writings, the work has attracted international attention. Scholars Victor L. Dowdell and Hans H. Rudnick, for example, have argued that Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View constitutes the best way for layperson readers to begin learning Kant's philosophy. Introduction to Kant's Anthropology (French: Introduction à l'Anthropologie) was devised by seminal historian of ideas Michel Foucault in the 1960s and depicts Foucault's desires in evaluating the differences between various peoples across different countries. While Foucault fundamentally appreciated the depth and scope of Kant's arguments, he additionally elaborated a large number of specific points given Foucault's particularly strong views on transcendental thought as a 20th-century philosopher. Language barriers initially created problems in terms of distributing both of the aforementioned writings. Fortunately, Foucault's work received an English translation and widespread publication in the 2000s. Kant's original work likewise has attracted increased notice over time among differing audiences.
