About This Book
The book explains Kant's critical philosophy as an inquiry into the limits and possibilities of human reason, aiming to show how knowledge and morality depend on the conditions of thinking rather than on direct access to things as they are. It outlines the first Critique's key claims about synthetic a priori judgments, the distinction between phenomena and things in themselves, and the roles of space and time. It examines the categories and principles of understanding and the antinomies that expose reason's contradictions when applied beyond experience. It discusses Kant's criticisms of traditional proofs for God's existence and his moral theory presented in the practical Critique. Finally, it treats aesthetic judgment and teleology and offers signposts for engaging with Kant's texts.
