Summary

While most interpretative studies of the 'Critique of Pure Reason' are either too scholarly or too superficial to be of practical use to students, Hartnack has achieved a concise comprehensive analysis of the work in a lucid style that communicates the essence of extraordinarily complex arguments in the simplest possible way. An ideal companion to the First Critique, especially for those grappling with the work for the first time. A reprint of the Macmillan edition of 1968.
