Critique of Pure Reason
Kant's foundational work establishes limits of human knowledge and synthetic a priori judgments. Through transcendental idealism, he reconciles rationalism and empiricism. The Critique examines space, time, causality, and knowledge's possibility. Kant's Copernican revolution places human mind as knowledge's active organizer. Dense, revolutionary, and essential to modern philosophy.
