Christian Garve
In the late 18th century, Christian Garve’s works were considered the pre-eminent example of a learned yet popular style. The Wrocław-based Enlightenment thinker nonetheless also enjoyed the respect of his philosopher and philologist colleagues, and his translations of and commentaries on English authors and Latin classics influenced generations of writers and philosophers. This collection offers an insight into Garve’s wide-ranging work.
This volume contains the first new edition and a German translation of the master’s thesis that Christian Garve wrote in Halle. Neglected in the literature thus far and missing from Garve’s collected works, this text provides a systematic examination of the concept of probability in the fields of logic, metaphysics, and the sciences. Garve thus took leave of school philosophy as early as in 1766.
