Kant's Königsberg chair is a Prussian royal-university office, patronage inside an absolute monarchy, not a republic of letters

In 1770 Kant took the Königsberg chair of logic and metaphysics as a Prussian royal-university office. The instrument is that patronage post, not a treatise. Immanuel Kant's documented role is: He accepted a crown university chair. Frederick II's Prussia paid. He did not hold the kingship.
