Completion of the Edition of Kant's "Doctrine of Virtue" (academy-edition)

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Dieter Schönecker
• Subject Area: History of Philosophy
• Term: from 2013 to 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 241554888

The Computer program "Oxygen-XML-Editor" written for the new edition of "Abteilung I" of the "Akademie-Ausgabe" by Walter de Gruyter press was only ocompleted with a delay of 2.5 years. For this reason, the project "Edition und Interpretation von Kants "Tugendlehre" (Akademie-Ausgabe)" could not come to a conclusion within the scheduled time table. So far, the text of the "Tugendlehre" as well the editorial apparatus and the index have only been written in Word; they now need to be transfered into the "Oxygen-XML-Editor" and then checked again in reference to the original editions. This is very labor-intensive, in need of a particular accuracy and hence also very time-consuming. Means will be requested for a substitute (one semester) in order that the head of the project (applicant) can fully devote himself to this editorial work without being burdened by teaching and administrative duties.
