The objective of this study is to comprehend the specification of a suitable method for Natural History as seen on Kant's famous essays on race, based on the debate regarding the faculty of imagination carried out in Lectures on Anthropology. We seek to pinpoint the way in which Physical Geography and Anthropology articulated within Weltkenntnis as seen in Kant's investigations on the nature of human faculties.Downloads
