An Interpretation of Kant's "Prolegomena"

Elazar Weinryb

Kant, possibly the most important philosopher of the modern age, attempted to create a synthesis between cognition and metaphysics, but also disagreed with both and offered a more innovative theory which developed philosophical thought in altogether new directions. This book describes, explains and interprets Kant�s theory, compares it to the theories of his predecessors, and points not only to its achievements but also to the difficulties it raises.

 

The book provides guided reading to Kant�s Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics. Sections from The Critique of Pure Reason (2nd ed., 1787) are also discussed.
