Crítica de la razón pura
Crítica de la razón pura es un ensayo escrito por el filósofo Inmanuel Kant y publicado originalmente en 1781. Es la obra más importante del autor y su influencia en el pensamiento occidental ha sido notable, ya que se podría decir que es la base de toda la filosofía moderna.
El libro analiza las bases de la capacidad humana de aprender y adquirir conocimiento, respondiendo a preguntas como qué podemos saber y qué no. Para ello, Kant establece que la razón humana no puede responder a todas las preguntas, como la existencia de Dios o el origen del mundo, ya que tiene una percepción de la realidad limitada. El mundo que vemos depende de nuestras percepciones y conocimientos previos, por lo que es una visión sesgada.
Sin embargo, hay dos conceptos que son independientes de nuestro conocimiento previo: el espacio y el tiempo, y son la base para poder reconocer todo lo demás.
La influencia en filósofos posteriores como Hege o Nietzsche es enorme, ya que la filosofía de estos es muy difícil de explicar sin conocer previamente la de Kant.
Immanuel Kant fue un filósofo alemán del siglo XVIII. Es famoso por sus trabajos de ética, estética y epistemología, y sus trabajos son de vital importancia para el desarrollo de la filosofía moderna.
La obra de Kant se caracteriza por centrarse en el papel de la razón en el conocimiento humano. Sostenía que las únicas cosas que pueden conocerse con certeza son las que se basan en la razón, y que todo el resto del conocimiento es incierto.
La obra de Kant ha sido influyente tanto en la tradición filosófica continental como en la angloamericana, y se le considera uno de los filósofos más importantes de la era moderna.

About the author
Immanuel Kant
3,037 books4,371 followersImmanuel Kant was an 18th-century philosopher from Königsberg, Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). He's regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of modern Europe & of the late Enlightenment. His most important work is The Critique of Pure Reason, an investigation of reason itself. It encompasses an attack on traditional metaphysics & epistemology, & highlights his own contribution to these areas. Other main works of his maturity are The Critique of Practical Reason, which is about ethics, & The Critique of Judgment, about esthetics & teleology.
Pursuing metaphysics involves asking questions about the ultimate nature of reality. Kant suggested that metaphysics can be reformed thru epistemology. He suggested that by understanding the sources & limits of human knowledge we can ask fruitful metaphysical questions. He asked if an object can be known to have certain properties prior to the experience of that object. He concluded that all objects that the mind can think about must conform to its manner of thought. Therefore if the mind can think only in terms of causality–which he concluded that it does–then we can know prior to experiencing them that all objects we experience must either be a cause or an effect. However, it follows from this that it's possible that there are objects of such a nature that the mind cannot think of them, & so the principle of causality, for instance, cannot be applied outside experience: hence we cannot know, for example, whether the world always existed or if it had a cause. So the grand questions of speculative metaphysics are off limits, but the sciences are firmly grounded in laws of the mind. Kant believed himself to be creating a compromise between the empiricists & the rationalists. The empiricists believed that knowledge is acquired thru experience alone, but the rationalists maintained that such knowledge is open to Cartesian doubt and that reason alone provides us with knowledge. Kant argues, however, that using reason without applying it to experience will only lead to illusions, while experience will be purely subjective without first being subsumed under pure reason. Kant’s thought was very influential in Germany during his lifetime, moving philosophy beyond the debate between the rationalists & empiricists. The philosophers Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Schopenhauer saw themselves as correcting and expanding Kant's system, thus bringing about various forms of German Idealism. Kant continues to be a major influence on philosophy to this day, influencing both Analytic and Continental philosophy.

Vaya por delante que no me he leído esto entero (Dios me proteja), pero sí que tengo intención de acabarla en algún momento. Sin embargo, lo que he leído me ha resultado extraordinario. Kant era un gran filósofo, y eso es indiscutible. Pese a la oscuridad de su pensamiento, la obra está escrita, dentro de lo que cabe, con estructura, claridad y sin demasiadas idas de olla.
