Product Description
Review
"Paul Guyer's and Allen Wood's new translation of Kant's Critique is a superb volume that forms the heart of Cambridge's excellent series of translations of Kant's works. Because of the quality of the translation, but also because of the various supplementary materials which it provides...it will very likely replace Norman Kemp Smith's translation as the standard edition for scholars. It is difficult to imagine that anyone would be able to improve on this volume in the foreseeable future." Eric Watkins, International Philosophical Quarterly
Product Description
This entirely new translation of Critique of Pure Reason is the most accurate and informative English translation ever produced of this epochal philosophical text. Though its simple and direct style will make it suitable for all new readers of Kant, the translation displays an unprecedented philosophical and textual sophistication that will enlighten Kant scholars as well. This translation recreates as far as possible a text with the same interpretative nuances and richness as the original. The extensive editorial apparatus includes informative annotation, detailed glossaries, an index, and a large-scale general introduction in which two of the world's preeminent Kant scholars provide both a succinct summary of the structure and argument of the Critique and a detailed account of its long and complex genesis.

Without a doubt the most difficult book that I have read. I had to use a 350 page commentary book, Kant's 'Prolegomena to any future metaphysics', and write a 15 page synopsize to understand it. However, those with a firm grasp of the rationalist and empiricist philosophical milieu before Kant's first Critique, will have less trouble I believe.
I strongly suggest reading David Hume's 'An Enquiry into Human Understanding' before reading Kant's first Critique.

Immanuel Kant's Crtique of Pure Reason is a work of genius and is widely regarded by acadmic philosophers as one of the most important philosophical texts ever written. Kant's aim in this work was to synthesise the doctrines of the rationalist and empirical schools, which had dominated philosophy for over a hundered years, by describing the limits of human knowledge. This was a moumental task but Kant rose to the challenge and produced a masterpiece. However, as important and revolutionary as this work undoubtely is, it is not for the faint hearterd. It is an extremly difficult book to read and Kant makes use of a great deal of technical jargon which will cause problems to the uninitiated. As a result, I would highly recommend buying an introductory book on Kant before attemtping to read this work. But when you do get around to reading it you will find that it is well worth the effort for this, as I say, is a work of genius!

Immanuel Kant was a towering genius of philosophy. He was, unfortunately, stuck in remedial class as far as expressing himself. To be fair to him the subject matter of the book is very difficult in itself. There's still no excuse for this!
Oh well, he's dead and there is no chance of a re-write. The most we can hope for is that some kind person will write another book telling us what this one is saying. Fortunately many have, I recommend the one by Jill Buroker.
