關於本電子書
Immanuel Kant's seminal work, 'The Critique of Pure Reason,' is a cornerstone in the realm of modern philosophy, dramatically shifting the landscape of philosophical inquiry after its publication. It examines the faculties of human reason and its application to metaphysics, eschewing reliance on empirical evidence to understand deeper truths. With meticulous analysis, Kant deconstructs the limits and capabilities of human cognition, establishing the framework for his transcendental idealism. Written in a dense and challenging prose, the 'Critique' stands as a rigorous excursion into the nature of human comprehension and a bold assertion of reason as the bedrock of moral consideration. Its intellectual reverberations extend into contemporary thoughts on epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, underscoring its unyielding significance. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), the architect of this monumental text, was profoundly influenced by the works of his predecessors, such as David Hume, whose skepticism of rationalism ignited Kant's critical examination of pure reason. Kant's philosophy pivots around the daring proclamation that while space and time condition our perception of reality, the essence of things in themselves remains beyond our cognitive grasp. His insistence on the primacy of reason laid the groundwork for his moral philosophy, which later culminated in his concept of the categorical imperative. This philosophical treatise not only reflects Kant's formidable intellect but also embodies his lifelong quest to reconcile the empirical with the rational. 'The Critique of Pure Reason' is an indispensable masterpiece for anyone vested in the study of philosophy. It appeals to scholars and students alike who are poised to grapple with its complex theses and profound implications. For those with a resolve to delve into the crux of human knowledge and confront the fundamental questions of existence, this work offers an unparalleled odyssey. Kant's meticulous inquiry invites readers to transcend the superficial and embrace the rigor that comes with the pursuit of true wisdom.
關於作者
Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) was a central figure in modern philosophy who synthesized early modern rationalism and empiricism, set the terms for much of nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophy, and continues to exercise a significant influence today in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and other fields. Born in Königsberg, which was then part of Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), Kant spent his entire life within the vicinity of his hometown, famously never venturing far from it. He was a precocious student, educated at the Collegium Fredericianum and the University of Königsberg. His most renowned work, 'The Critique of Pure Reason' (1781), revolutionized the approach to philosophical inquiry, particularly in epistemology and metaphysics, by proposing a 'Copernican revolution' in philosophy. This work aimed to analyze the limits and scope of pure reason, establishing the boundaries of science and metaphysics. Kant's unique philosophical approach, often called 'transcendental idealism,' profoundly impacted subsequent philosophical discourse and thinkers. His other notable works include 'The Critique of Practical Reason' which focuses on ethics, and 'The Critique of Judgment,' addressing aesthetics and teleology. His three critiques constitute what is often referred to as his 'critical philosophy.' Kant's rigorous analysis, systematic presentation, and the depth of his ideas have made him one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought. (Guyer, P., & Wood, A. W. (Eds.). (1998).
