It was published in 1783, two years after the first edition of his \u003ci\u003eCritique of Pure Reason\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProlegomena\u003c\/i\u003e contains an overview and defense of the \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e‘s main conclusions, sometimes by arguments Kant had not used in the \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e. Kant characterizes his more accessible approach here as an \"analytic\" one, as opposed to the \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e‘s \"synthetic\" examination of successive faculties of the mind and their principles.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book is also intended as a polemic. Kant was disappointed by the poor reception of the \u003ci\u003eCritique of Pure Reason\u003c\/i\u003e, and here he repeatedly emphasizes the importance of its critical project for the very existence of metaphysics as a science. The final appendix contains a detailed rebuttal to an unfavorable review of the \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e— Excerpted from \u003ci\u003eWikipedia, \u003c\/i\u003ethe free encyclopedia.\u003c\/p\u003e    ","brand":"MobileReference","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134817911024,"sku":"9781605016306","price":0.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781605016306_p0.jpg?v=1763829583","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605016306","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
