<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A short, clear, and authoritative guide to one of the most important and difficult works of modern philosophy</b> <p/>Perhaps the most influential work of modern philosophy, Immanuel Kant's <i>Critique of Pure Reason</i> is also one of the hardest to read, since it brims with complex arguments, difficult ideas, and tortuous sentences. In this short, accessible book, eminent philosopher and Kant expert Yirmiyahu Yovel helps readers find their way through the maze of Kant's classic by providing a clear and authoritative summary of the entire work. The distillation of decades of studying and teaching Kant, Yovel's systematic explication untangles the ideas and arguments of the <i>Critique</i> in the order in which Kant presents them. The result is an invaluable guide for philosophers and students.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Very few short introductions to Kant's <i>Critique of Pure Reason</i> are this clear and well informed, and very few Kant scholars can compete with Yovel's broad knowledge of the philosopher. This book is distinguished from other introductions and greatly enriched by the way it highlights important connections between the <i>Critique</i> and Kant's other writings. Offering helpful explanations of some of Kant's most baffling doctrines, Yovel's book will serve as a useful guide for those reading Kant's text for the first (or second or third) time."<b>--Sally S. Sedgwick, University of Illinois at Chicago</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Yirmiyahu Yovel</b> (1935-2018) was professor emeritus of philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His books include <i>Kant and the Philosophy of History</i> and <i>Spinoza and Other</i> <i>Heretics</i> (both Princeton).
