Critique of Pure Reason. With Commentary and Illustrations

Immanuel Kant is the founder of German classical philosophy and critical idealism, a thinker whose influence is comparable to that of Plato and Aristotle. This edition includes two works from the philosopher's well-known "critical period": "Critique of Pure Reason" and "Critique of the Power of Judgment." The first reveals Kant's views on the structure and mechanisms of knowledge, while the second addresses the problem of beauty, the phenomenon of genius, and the nature of the beautiful. These works are presented in abridged form with commentaries intended to clarify the most intricate and complex aspects of Kantian thought in an accessible manner.
