This review has nothing to do with the Critique itself, so much as this particular copy of it.This book is a physical copy of the version of the Critique available online through the Gutenberg Project (accessible here: [...]). There are absolutely no changes from the Gutenberg text, including its formatting - you'll notice how the first footnote there is the same font size as the rest of the text, but the following footnotes are smaller. That's preserved in the book. It seems whoever printed this version simply copied and pasted the text...And yet for some reason, the translator, Meiklejohn, is not mentioned.If the printer made some additional changes, this wouldn't be a problem. But no trouble was taken to make page breaks, format the headings so they are easily recognizable, or adjust the fonts and font sizes (the words are really quite small).Furthermore, and this is particularly infuriating, there is no table of contents!The reader is simply left to their own devices in order to find this or that passage - and there's unfortunately no ctrl+F with a physical text.If you'd like a very spartan version of the critique, and you don't feel like printing out the Gutenberg text yourself, this is the book for you. But if you plan to spend time with the thing, discuss it, mark it, and look up passages in the future, it's probably best to look for another version.
So easy to read! No magnifying glass needed. I am finding with all the really large print books that the text takes up every speck of space on the page, so there are no page numbers and the traditional spacing and formatting for start of a new chapter, etc. is not used. But that is of little moment for those of us who can finally read this book comfortably. Thank you to the publisher!
The ideas and opinions on philosophyand in particular the questions of "reason" of Immanual Kant are among the most intuative and unique studies of the concept of reason ever completed.Before I read this book I was a student of philosophy and always prone to asking the deeper questions of life. After reading the notions of Kant, I now have a different perspective of how people think or should think. Kant does not set out to attempt to change individual thought and perception to his opinion, instead his style of prose is more questioning than a simple statement of opinion. This book will change your thought process and question many of your currrent concepts on how people think.
Note that, in spite of the picture on this page, the edition you get is not Pluhar's (Hackett) translation, but an old one without any apparatus, etc.
