Publisher's Synopsis
Critique of Pure Reason is a philosophical work written by Immanuel Kant, first published in 1781. It is considered to be one of the most important and influential works in the history of philosophy. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with the nature of knowledge, while the second deals with the nature of reality.In the first part, Kant argues that all knowledge begins with experience, but that it is not limited to experience. He introduces the concept of a priori knowledge, which is knowledge that is independent of experience. Kant also argues that the mind plays an active role in shaping our experience of the world, and that there are certain categories of thought that are necessary for us to make sense of our experiences.In the second part, Kant argues that there is a distinction between appearances and reality. He argues that we can only know the world as it appears to us, and that we can never know the world as it really is. He also introduces the concept of the noumenon, which is the thing-in-itself that exists independently of our perception of it.Critique of Pure Reason is a complex and challenging work, but it is considered to be a cornerstone of modern philosophy. It has influenced many subsequent philosophers, and continues to be studied and debated to this day.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
