The index is based on the Latin text of the historical-critical bilingual edition of the ›Metaphysica‹ (FMDA I,2). Baumgarten’s language has been dealt with in accordance with the standards provided in section III of the FMDA. Since Kant used Baumgarten’s ›Metaphysica‹ as a basis for his lectures on this subject for more than four decades, the index also provides the first philologically reliable basis for the study of the origins of Kant’s philosophical language development in this field. Baumgarten’s own Germanizations of key Latin terms, which he included in his work starting with the fourth edition in 1757, have been compiled in a separate index.
