The Critique of Pure Reason (Kant)

Immanuel Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason" examines how we come to know and understand the world. He argues that our knowledge arises from a combination of sensory experience (what we see and hear) and innate mental structures (how we organize that experience). Kant distinguishes between things as they are (things-in-themselves) and how we perceive them. He suggests that certain limits exist to human knowledge, especially about things beyond our experience. The work aims to clarify what we can truly know and how our mind shapes our understanding of reality.
