It is by confronting actual – rather than imaginary – opponents that theories are tested against the strongest and most unexpected objections». This is the case of Kant-Weymann controversy on Optimism, which is presented in this volume with the publication of two rare documents that are precious in reconstructing Königsberg’s intellectual history and the development of Kantian philosophy.
