The masterpiece of the father of modern philosophy A seminal text of modern philosophy, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781) made history by bringing together two opposing schools of thought: rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience. Published here in a lucid reworking of Max Müller's classic translation, the Critique is a profound investigation into the nature of human reason, establishing its truth, falsities, illusions, and reality.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Über-translation of the Kritik....The Critique of Pure Reason is the sine qua non of modern thought, as it incorporates the most significant earlier critiques of Plato, Aristotle, Hume, and Descartes, in turn becoming the point of departure (on one hand) for Schopenhauer, and (on the other) for Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and Deleuze--besides its further influence on social and literary criticism (e.g., Marx, Mill, Arnold, Eliot, Adorno, et al.).Of course the Kritik is a very complex and dry text--(more readable than Hegel and Heidegger; less readable than Schopenhauer and Nietzsche)--which requires much moisture of psychic perspiration.Question: which English translation should one get?Modern English readers have five choices:1) Kemp Smith (1929) based on Müller (1881) [based on Meiklejohn (1855) and Haywood (1838)];2) Politis (1993) based on Meiklejohn (1855);3) Pluhar (1996);4) Guyer/Wood (1998);5) Weigelt (2007) based on Müller (1881).(F. Max Müller was the son of Wilhelm Müller who supplied Schubert with the texts for his immortal song-cycles The Lovely Mill-Maid, and the Winter's Journey.)Bottom line: Guyer/Wood (Cambridge UP) though touted to be "definitive," in fact contains numerous errors.Conclusion: scholars and thinkers of all walks would be doing themselves a favour in utilising Weigelt's fine translation featured here.For Weigelt is a perspicacious scholar of great intellectual integrity and technical accuracy who writes a nice English with a sense of humour.Weigelt's 60 page introduction is invaluable.
