Pagera Editor's Note
The Critique of Pure Reason, first published in 1781 and substantially revised in 1787, is Immanuel Kant's inquiry into the scope and limits of human reason. Asking how synthetic judgments a priori are possible, Kant argues in the Transcendental Aesthetic that space and time are forms of our intuition, and in the Analytic that the categories of the understanding make experience possible. The Dialectic shows how reason falls into illusion when it reaches beyond experience, in arguments about the soul, the world as a whole, and the existence of God. A Doctrine of Method follows. This is J. M. D. Meiklejohn's translation, with the prefaces to both editions.
