First acquaintances – the eighteenth century

Thomas Nemeth

pp. 15-26

This chapter concerns the introduction of Kant's name and works into Imperial Russia from 1758–1800. Some young Russians studied in Königsberg and brought knowledge of Kant's ideas back to Russia proper. However, as a result of the Seven Years' War, Königsberg was under Russian occupation for a time, and as a result Kant himself was in a sense in Imperial Russia. Here, we look at both these young Russians as well as Kant's own relations to occupying military units stationed in his hometown.
