Critique of Pure Reason: The most important book of Immanuel Kant's works

With his Critique of Pure Reason, Immanuel Kant unleashed a true revolution. The book gave rise to transcendental philosophy and made an impact on his contemporaries. The Königsberg philosopher analyzes the bases of our ability to think and concludes that it is limited. Unlike many philosophers before him, with his treatise he explains that human reason cannot answer questions such as the existence of God or the soul or the origin of the world. Kant presupposes modern constructivism when he affirms that the human being has only limited possibilities (as if they were glasses) to perceive reality. Kant wanted to reconcile empiricism with rationalism through his philosophy, but his astonished readers and numerous listeners at the university were left with the depressing conclusion that they could never know the "real" world. A reader without a philosophical training hardly has the possibility of understanding Kant. And yet the attempt is worth it: without Kant it is impossible to conceive of philosophers like Hegel, Fichte and Nietzsche or the literature and aesthetic theories of the German classics.
