Critique of Pure Reason: Unified Edition (with all variants from the 1781 and 1787 editions) (Hackett Classics)

Was the exact book l was looking for and with a little work was able to repair the spine. Awesome price and books pages are like new.

So far, so good. Translation is very clear and easily comprehended.

Pluhar's translation is wonderful. The extensive annotation makes the whole work perfectly clear, offering alternative translations and pointing out the technical German vocabulary (so essential to understanding Kant). The work flows beautifully, and though the material was dense, I could hardly put it down at times. If you're just starting Kant, do not start here. I'd suggest the excellent series by W.T. Jones called A History of Western Philosophy (specifically volume four). Read and reread it. Understand the basics about Kant, then, when you have the proper grounding, go on to the Critique. It will reward careful study.

Many of the pages are practically transparent. This is a major pet peeve that I have. Other than that, the book is sturdy. I ordered the hardcover.

Mr Werner S. Pluhar has done us all non-German readers a great favor:A clear, complete (with a German-English Glossary followed by the English-German Index), fluent translation of Kant's major work.It's the one I feel to be the most enjoyable and closer to the original.Patricia Kitcher's Introduction is very helpful to any new Kant's reader.The editing and format of this edition is well designed and inviting tothe eye.

This Critique is long, difficult, and dry; however, at the same time it is brilliant. Many who rate this book below 4 stars just simply do not have the education or intellect to understand it. I recommend studying early modern philosophy from Descartes to Hume; then, you may be able to comprehend Kant's deep thinking. To this day, I display this book proudly as a trophy, and a thought bible.

This Kindle version is simply un-readable due to scrambled formating. It appears that the book has been processed through some OCR program with no concern for retaining the orgianl format, nor readabiltiy.

Standard book of german philosophy. It has a historic value and a contemporary relevance, because it enforces rigorous rethinking about the status of perceived objects. Time and space are, according to Kant, on the side of the perceiving subject, and not independently real. But what remains, if we remove space/time from the objects? Such considerations may twist the brain, but are quite amusing and may sharpen ones mental faculties.

Great book. Delivered in good condition.
