IMMANUEL KANT'S CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON Unabridged by Norman Kemp Smith

Description: The masterpiece of the father of modern philosophy A seminal text of modern philosophy, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781) made history by bringing together two opposing schools of thought: rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience. The Critique is a profound investigation into the nature of human reason, establishing its truth, falsities, illusions, and reality. From Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Norman Kemp Smith is now most widely known for his translation of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. This was begun in 1913 while Kemp Smith was completing his Commentary on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason which, together with his classic studies on Descartes and Hume, established his reputation as the greatest British philosophical scholar of his day. But he was also an outstanding member of the now forgotten British ‘Critical Realist’ movement, much respected by A.N. Whitehead, which also included among others Kemp Smith’s mentor Robert Adamson, Adamson’s English pupil G. Dawes Hicks, James Ward, and his pupil G.F. Stout. Science and scientistic fallacies, psychology, including developmental psychology and the histories of science and philosophy were alike concerns of a group of independent thinkers. Their work was obscured by subsequent English philosophers’ lack of attention, and the prevailing false assumption that the work of those antecedent thinkers was dominated comprehensively by views mistakenly attributed to ‘Hegel’ or ‘Idealism’. This is a book that would be in good condition, but for the underlining. For what it's worth, the previous and only owner of this copy was a PhD student from a top U.S. university and has since earned that degree.
