| Résumé : | In the late eighteenth-century, Kant's Critical Philosophy appealed to Irish intellectuals for political reasons, notably to Dr J.A. O'Keefe. This article contains new biographical information about the Irish physician and early transmitter of Kantian thought based on two letters dating from spring 1796. It uncovers O'Keefe's friendship with the German expatriot and Kantian disciple, Friedrich August Nitsch, his emigration to Joseph Priestley's Unitarian settlement in Pennsylvania, discusses O'Keefe's radical pamphlet An Essay on the Progress of Human Understanding (1795) in the context of the Anglo-German popularisation of Critical Philosophy and elucidates the lasting impact of O'Keefe's contribution |
