Critique of Pure Reason

In his monumental <i>Critique of Pure Reason </i> German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) argues that human knowledge is limited by the capacity for perception. He attempts a logical designation of two varieties of knowledge: <i>a posteriori </i> the knowledge acquired through experience; and <i>a priori </i> knowledge not derived through experience. Kant maintains that the most practical forms of human knowledge employ the <i>a priori</i> judgments that are possible only when the mind determines the conditions of its own experience. This accurate translation by J. M. Meiklejohn offers a simple and direct rendering of Kant's work that is suitable for readers at all levels.
