- First published:
- 20th century
- Language: English
"Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical work published in 1783. Written as a more accessible summary of his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant investigates whether metaphysics can exist as a legitimate science. He examines how pure mathematics and natural science achieve certainty through synthetic a priori knowledge, tracing the origins and limits of human reason. The work responds to critics while defending the critical importance of establishing metaphysics on firm foundations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
