The Critique of Pure Reason

More about the book

Building on the philosophies of empiricists and rationalists, the book explores Kant's innovative ideas about space, time, and knowledge. It addresses Hume's skepticism about causation and Descartes' doubts regarding external reality through the lens of transcendental idealism. Kant distinguishes between objects as mere representations and their forms of appearance, arguing that a priori knowledge exists independently of experience. This foundational perspective reshapes our understanding of cognition and the nature of knowledge itself.
