“For the main question is always this: what, and how much, can understanding and reason cognize independently of all experience?” He is attempting to maintain both the authority of reason with the authority of religion. CPR shows that a critique of reason through the means of reason alone is able to bound the domain of reason to its appropriate use, namely science and math but not metaphysics and religion. This mechanistic view coupled with the universal urge to put ideals under the microscopic of rational criticism threatened traditional moral and religious beliefs. Kant wrote CPR in the age of the enlightenment which was an age of sharp criticism founded on a mechanistic metaphysics influenced by Newtonian physics. With that said, I’ve decided to share these unedited notes on the off chance they are helpful to other readers.
These notes were created during my reading process to aid my own understanding and not written for the purpose of instruction. My preferred way of engaging with books is reconstruction.
