The Critique of Pure Reason (Template:Lang-de), first published in 1781 (A) with a second edition (B) in 1787, is generally regarded as the most influential and widely read work of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant and one of the most influential and important in the history of Western philosophy. It is often referred to as Kant's "first critique," and was followed by the Critique of Practical Reason and the Critique of Judgement.
Kant saw the first critique as an attempt to bridge the gap between rationalism and empiricism — and, in particular, to counter the empiricism of David Hume — famously arguing that, although all knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it all arises out of experience (B1).
The Critique is one of the most important works in Western philosophy. In The World as Will and Representation, Arthur Schopenhauer wrote: "Kant's teaching produces a fundamental change in every mind that has grasped it."
