A key work of Kant that opens the foundations of metaphysics and critical idealism—an essential basis for Western philosophy.

In this work, the philosopher lays out complex ideas that help the reader better understand his famous “Critique of Pure Reason” and delve into the depths of the European philosophical tradition.

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) is one of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment era, the founder of German classical philosophy, and the creator of critical idealism, making a decisive contribution to the development of the European philosophical tradition.

In the work “Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics That May Present Itself as a Science”, Kant explains the subject and tasks of metaphysics, paving the way for understanding the “Critique of Pure Reason.”

The collection also includes the works “Dreams of a Spirit-Seer, Elucidated by Dreams of Metaphysics”, in which Kant cleverly and elegantly criticizes the mystic Swedenborg, and “On the Form and Principles of the Sensible and the Intelligible World”.
