Immanuel Kant 
Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.


 

Immanuel Kant’s
Prolegomena is an indispensable guide through the obscure and convoluted tangle of his “critical philosophy.” It has inestimable value as an introduction to the revolutionary doctrine that he called “transcendental idealism” and clarifies the points made in his greatest and most influential book, the
Critique of Pure Reason. The
Prolegomena is a pivot of Kant’s revolutions in metaphysics and epistemology.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) has been caricatured as a stiff German professor, whose Stoic habits were so predictable that the people of Königsberg, his hometown, could set their clocks by his daily walks.  Kant’s life is best described as a heroic struggle to discover order within chaos or, better, an effort to fix human thought and behavior within it proper limits.  He lived and worked during the Enlightenment, a time when political, religious, and intellectual freedom erupted across the Western world.
