Description

New translation for the greatest masterpiece of the man many regard as the most important modern philosopherKant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781) is the central text of modern philosophy. It brings together the two opposing schools of philosophy- rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience.

Reason, argues Kant, is the seat of all concepts, including God, freedom and immortality and must therefore precede and surpass human experience.
