On the Popular Judgment: That may be Right in Theory, but does not Hold Good in the Praxis

On the Popular Judgment is a tripartite essay by Immanuel Kant, published in the late 18th century. In this work, Kant addresses the relationship between theory and practice, responding to critiques of his moral theory and engaging with the ideas of Christian Garve, Thomas Hobbes, and Moses Mendelssohn. The essay is notable for its exploration of individual morality, state governance, and broader human concerns, making it a significant contribution to Kant's moral and political philosophy. It is often read alongside his other works, such as Perpetual Peace, to better understand his political thought.
