READ ALONG SERIES - KANT'S "PROLEGOMENA"

Kant’s introduction seems so humble and straightforward but this masks a project of breathtaking scope. Whether or not Kant ultimately achieves his aims is mostly beside the point. Here, he really does make a radical break with the past and tries to reorient not just our thinking about metaphysical questions but how we understand thinking in its entirety. Rarely has a thinker attempted such a sweeping revaluation and re-grounding of knowledge. Kant’s influence grows from the inability of later thinkers to ignore this challenge and, hence, he reshaped almost all the philosophy that came after him.
