Anthony Savile 
Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason 
An Orientation to the Central Theme

This fresh orientation to Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason
presents his central theme, the development of his Transcendental
Idealism, as a ground-breaking response to perceived weaknesses in
his predecessors’ accounts of experiential knowledge.

* Traces the central theme of the Critique, the development of
Kant’s Transcendental Idealism.

* Offers new and original readings of the central arguments in
both the Transcendental Aesthetic and the Transcendental
Analytic.

* Appraises the success and failure of Kant’s project in the
Critique.
