Kant, whose life was dedicated to a quiet and passionate quest for truth, expresses herein his unique system of philosophical thought, and his approach, known as transcendental idealism, based on meticulous investigations of metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics.
A cornerstone of Western philosophy, this seminal treatise was originally published in 1781.
Kant maintains that the most practical forms of human knowledge employ a priori judgments that are possible only when the mind determines the conditions of its own experience.
He attempts a logical designation of two varieties of knowledge: a posteriori , knowledge acquired through experience, and a priori , knowledge not derived through experience.
