Kant Immanuel. Kritik der Reinen Vernunft (Critique of Pure Reason). Philosophy, 1166 pages, 25 cm. Kant explains that by a "critique of pure reason" he means a critique "of the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience" and that he aims to reach a decision about "the possibility or impossibility of metaphysics." He expounds on (then) new ideas on the nature of space and time and explores the concepts of analytic vs. synthetic judgments. It has exerted an enduring influence on Western philosophy, and helped to bring about the development of German idealism.
