Publisher's Summary

Immanuel Kant stands as one of the founding fathers of the school of modern philosophy. His work evoked a paradigm shift in the approach to philosophy and was the starting point for many revolutionary thinkers who followed, including Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

The Critique of Pure Reason is a work that examines the faculty of reason and the qualities inherent in human thought. Before this time the influence of the knower on that which was sought to be known was not considered in a thorough and developed manner. Kant attempted with this critique to establish a limit to the knowable based on the nature of human cognition. His work was an attempt to address the failings in philosophy and metaphysics and provide a solid foundation for the proper use of reason to expand knowledge. In this attempt, he can be said to be successful, as his work evoked a shift in philosophical trajectory, which allows all thinkers subsequent to him to stand out from those who came before him in their handling of the subject of philosophy.

The narration of this landmark text is preceded by a summary, which includes a biography and background information of the author, as well as an overview, a synopsis, and an analysis of the work. Capping the summary is an investigation of the historical context of Kant's work as well as an examination of the criticisms and social impact that it evoked. This work represents an essential link to understanding the philosophy of the modern era and is a must-hear for students of philosophy or for anyone with an interest in the nature of thought.

This was required, while stating to be optional.

This book left me more positive than ever that we are stuck in a conflict of reality. I wonder if people used to be thrilled by public violence, if it gave a very powerful sense of belonging to the team identified as RIGHT. Good thing we don't see public displays of broken reality being demonstrated by people who feel the most victimized anymore 🤷‍♂️.

I just couldn’t get through it.

Worst reading of an audiobook I have ever heard. I had to purchase a different version. I am going to try and get my credit back.

Content convoluted. Reader unfamiliar

you can hear how the reader doesn't comprehend the text and it has the effect of the placement of emphasis being random rather than helping to assist the transfer of information as intended by the author.

Mispronunciation gave poor impression

Early in this reading the speaker repeatedly says the name Descartes - as Des-cart-ezz. This gave me the sense that the reader had no idea who Descartes was. This error was not caught by Audible or the audiobook producers. But it is such a bad one, to me, that it should immediately be corrected.

An amazing, ground breaking book

I was fine with the presentation. Not disappointed at all with the narration, it was clean and factual and did not interfere with the message.
