First sentence: TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE: Kant's Science of Right is a complete exposition of the  Philosophy of Law, viewed as a rational investigation of  the fundamental Principles of Jurisprudence. It was  published in 1796, as the First Part of his Metaphysic  of Morals, the promised sequel and completion of the  Foundation for a Metaphysic of Morals, published in  1785. The importance and value of the great thinker’s  exposition of the Science of Right, both as regards the  fundamental Principles of his own Practical Philosophy  and the general interest of the Philosophy of Law, were  at once recognised.
