The Critique of Pure Reason is one of the seminal texts of Western philosophy, and the first of Kant's three Critiques. In it he takes up Hume's argument that cause and effect cannot be experienced by the senses. Hume argued that we experience events one after the other, but not that one event is caused by the preceding event. Kant argues that synthetic, rather than analytic thinking is needed, and addresses the problem of thinking synthetically without relying on the empirical...… (more)

Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason is an analysis of the concept of metaphysics. I have read from English translations, not the original German. I don’t think I’m up to reading on this topic in German, yet. I enjoyed the English translation; I like logic. I was fascinated by Ancient Greek philosophy starting when I was 12 or 13 years old, but it took me quite a few years before I read any modern philosophy. I can see why this is a significant book in modern philosophy that should be read. I should have read it earlier and would recommend it to others interested in philosophy.

Confirmo se tratar de uma obra prima. Também confirmo a dificuldade da leitura - quase sempre técnica, metódica e complexa. Precisa que paremos para rabiscar coisas, ir tentando dominar o vocabulário próprio que cresce em número, e que vai com mais e mais determinações, ficando cada vez mais específico. De modo que, após sofrer um pouco em tentativas erráticas de leitura, optei por algo similar à prática musical da "meia hora por dia", convertida para as 10 páginas de Kant diárias, quase sempre dobradas em 20, exigindo repetição da leitura de quase cada parágrafo. Agora, em que pese a dificuldade, é um texto maravilhosamente consistente, com uma estrutura fascinante. Para quem já ouviu falar dos temas abordados (o correlacionismo, o tempo e o espaço como as formas da intuição, o bloqueio do dogmatismo mas o avanço especulativo moral disciplinado que permite ultrapassar o ceticismo, a refutação da existência de Deus, com a subsequente salvação da ideia de Deus, a separação entre fenômeno e númeno, a delimitação dos limites da razão, a especificação dos poderes da especulação no âmbito moral, o estabelecimento de uma arquitetura das disciplinas da razão e de um arcabouço da razão em sentido geral), adentrar nos meandros vale muito a pena, pois eles, acima do estabelecimento de temáticas, discutidas por outros n autores, tem uma riqueza de argumentação e delineamento ímpar. É isso, recomendo aos corajosos. E sim, é uma primeira leitura, longe de dar conta do conteúdo. Mas é preciso começar de algum lugar, como por exemplo, de um dia e suas 10 páginas... ( )

First words
In whatever mode, or by whatever means, our knowledge may relate to objects, it is at least quite clear, that the only manner in which it immediately relates to them, is by means of an intuition.
That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. [Meiklejohn's translation of the second edition of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason]
