CREATESPACE The Critique of Pure Reason

At several points I genuinely thought I was suffering from a stroke of some kind going through this. I was reading and 3 pages just tripped me up so hard I had a mini panic attack thinking something was wrong with me 'cause I was reading something, but it was just not registering. The sentence structure, and how he'll jump back and forth constantly at times just makes it for a hard read. From what I gathered you really should know more about his works and writing style before going into this. There's SO much, SOOOOO much terminology you'll need to remember and it's just shot at you like bam, bam, one after another, non-stop, and you have to reference/understand it as he goes on to explain something else and/or another process using it RIGHT away. It's a freaking ride. That being said, when you've read some of it, and you're actually capable of understanding what he's communicating in his way, it's pretty darn neat.

Arrived as advertised.

It's a scandal that Amazon is selling this book! Nobody picks up Kant as their bedtime reading. Kant's "Critique" is used by students and scholars for their academic research so how can they use a book which has NO pages numbers for the 2 prefaces and the introduction - together making about 60+ pages? The numbering starts with Book I "Transcendental Logic", so what went before doesn't count? Add to this the fact that there is no publisher, place of publication or date of publication and you have a volume that cannot be used by the target readership at all - you can only use to prop up a wonky table. This was a complete waste of money, but I am now alerted and won't make the same mistake again.

Better start from Descartes, Locke, Hume, and maybe then go for, slowly, bite at a time

Kant has his idiosyncrasies, but is brilliant and beyond my capabilities much of the time. I find Kant's view of "person" to be worth consideration.
