The Critique of Pure Reason

This book contains Immanuel Kant’s famous 1781 philosophical work, “Critique of Pure Reason”. One of the most important works the history of philosophy, it is Kant’s attempt to analyze “the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience.” Also referred to as Kant's 'first critique', it was followed in 1788 by the “Critique of Practical Reason” and in 1790 by the “Critique of Judgment.” This volume constitutes a must-read for serious students of philosophy, and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) was a German philosopher who is widely considered to be a central figure of modern philosophy. He argued that fundamental concepts structure human experience, and that reason is the source of morality.
