"Never will the 'I love it/ I like it/ It's okay...' rating system be less helpful than with this book. But it is okay as a helping hand for Kant's first Critique. Where the ideas are most compelling, this book is clearest; where the ideas are the least compelling, this book is dense and nonsensical (hello, tables of judgment/concepts/principles). Anyway, it's silly to rate this book. This edition, on the other hand, is great: it has a fantastic introduction, useful selections from the first critique, and the early reviews of the CPR that Kant responds to in the appendix to the Prolegomena. The translation could be smoother, but then, Kant could have been smoother too.
It sucks, but I think the best track is to read the CPR first, and then this, or maybe this, then CPR, then this again. I can't really see that you'd get much out of the Prolegomena alone."
"I'd started but not finished this supplementary polemic to the Critique of Pure Reason while working on my seminary thesis at the Hungarian Pastry Shop on 110th and Cathedral in New York. Although some had recommended it as an easy approach to the critical project, time was short and I wanted to get through the three Critiques and all the Kant texts either cited by C.G. Jung or contained in his library at the time of his death first. I did so, then got to this after graduation. It served as a nice little review."
"This was the book I was referred too when I decided to learn more about Transcendentalism. It is a book written to help understand a book previously written by Kant on Metaphysics.
While it was interesting, it seemed like Kant purposely decided to make it as wordy as possible. Which I think is humorous because the point of this book is to explain a book previously written in which only one other person in the world understood at the time.
As I have yet to thoroughly research Kant, I can not say whether he has difficulty expressing his views or if his views do not necessarily lend themselves to spoken language at the time of their birth.
All in all I enjoyed the book, and would have given it 4 stars if it wasn't so hard to decipher."
