Norman Kemp Smith

[1] Smith is noted for his 1929 English translation of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, which for a long time was considered the standard version.

[6] He was educated in Dundee and then studied mental philosophy at the University of St Andrews, graduating with an MA with first-class honours in 1893.

In 1938 he moved to 14 Kilgraston Road in south Edinburgh, a house designed by Sir Robert Matthew.

[10] His translation of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is often used as the standard English version of the text.

[12] The Kemp Smith Room in the University of Edinburgh's Philosophy Department is named in his honour.
