Immanuel Kant
Kant prolegomenái minden leendő metafizikához

Written as a more accessible companion to his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant summarizes his revolutionary conclusions about metaphysics and human knowledge. Disappointed by the poor reception of his earlier work, he emphasizes why his critical project matters for establishing metaphysics as a legitimate science. Through an analytical approach, Kant investigates whether metaphysics is even possible, exploring how pure mathematics and natural science arise from reason itself rather than experience alone.
