  <default-description>This entirely new translation of Critique of Pure Reason is the most accurate &amp; informative English translation ever produced of this epochal philosophical text. Tho its simple, direct style will make it suitable for all new readers, the translation displays a philosophical &amp; textual sophistication that will enlighten scholars as well. This translation recreates as far as possible a text with the same rich interpretative nuances as the original.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a hard read for me. If I could re-do college I would take a few semesters on Kant, rather than the one class I took on his work. However, I do think the idea of a Nouminal world is goofy. I think Sartre was far more &quot;on the money&quot; with his idea that &quot;all intentionality refers...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40035158">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[even though i've read this book several times and i still can't claim to understand even half of it i think it's one of the most important books i've ever read and probably the first book to really really get me to question and examine every facet of reality and experience.  this book sparked my int...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/796089">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the book in western philosophy that separates the lovers of wisdom from the dilettantes. Many books in the tradition are written on many levels and are accessible to most at even a superficial level. This one is not.  Kant's prose is thick and unwieldy and his subject matter so weighty that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23975962">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read it again last year. Read it either critically as a philosopher or as an interested reader. It is very clear and sometimes the metaphors are astounding.

    <body><![CDATA[If the past two hundred years of philosophical discourse have taught us anything, it is that nothing can be added to (or taken from) Kant's own Critique of Kant.  That is, in order to add to Kant's Critique, one would have to be Kant.  Reading the Critique is a pleasure in self-restraint, therefore,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35589917">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ever seen the film entitled <em>The Matrix</em>? Well, I think its safe to say that part of its inspiration comes from Kant's transcendental idealism. The phenomenal world (the matrix) is an experiential construct fashioned by the categories of space and time. And yet, this world is the not the only one.
