The "Knigge" is still a highly interesting milestone on the practical art of dealing with people. Published in 1788, the same year as Kant's "Critique of Practical Reason," Knigge addresses the enforcement of morality and provides convincing and, above all, practical answers to the questions of human coexistence. "The art of dealing with people consists in making oneself noticeable, asserting oneself, and being respected, without being envied." (Adolph Freiherr von Knigge).
