- Kant's first Critique includes a version of a standard medieval analysis of faith ('Glaube'), using a triad originating in Hugh of St Victor ('opinion, faith and knowledge'). This 16,000 word article is the first to locate the source Kant uses. The author spent two years investigating thousands of pages of untranslated source material (from Wolfe, Meier, Baumgarten and Crusius), eventually locating Kant’s principle source in early German translations of John Locke, identifying the specific edition used. Most of these sources are not available digitally; some (the German editions of John Locke) are rare, and had to be specially purchased.
