Commentary

Cross-estate§001

The translator of this Critique is F. Max Müller — the same man who edited the fifty volumes of the Sacred Books of the East held on this shelf, and who translated the Dhammapada and the Upanishads in them. The editor of the largest collection of Eastern scripture in English also put Kant into English. Read his Vedic Hymns introduction beside this: the man who insists a first translator must be a “decipherer” justifying every word is the same man rendering the Transcendental Deduction.
