Kant's Critique of Pure Reason: Critical EssaysPatricia Kitcher The central project of the Critique of Pure Reason is to answer two sets of questions: what can we know and how can we know it? What can't we know and why can't we know it? The essays in this collection are intended to help students read the Critique of Pure Reason with a greater understanding of its central themes and arguments, and with some awareness of important lines of criticism of those themes and arguments. |
