Metaphysics: A Critical Translation with Kant's Elucidations, Selected Notes, and Related Materials

In my opinion, this is the greatest edition of any and all of Kant’s works. The whole text is arranged very methodically, utilizing the strict geometrical method, putting it in a similar category to Euclid’s Elements, Proclus’s Elements of Theology, and Legendre’s Elements of Geometry. Should be required reading for all philosophy and logic students.

Questo testo è di grande interesse poiché è espressione del filone culturale contrario all'Illuminismo e, quindi, alla filosofia dell'umanesimo, che si sviluppa in Germania nel XVIII secolo. Il saggio è caratterizzato da una speculazione filosofica formalmente razionale che, tuttavia, nega, sul piano cosmologico, la vigenza del principio di causalità, donde la ricaduta volontaristica sul piano delle relazioni umane.

I was so pleased to find out that this text had finally been translated into English. It formed the foundation of Kant's metaphysical thought so I originally purchased it with the idea of further understanding Kantianism in mind. However, this stands by itself quite nicely as a detailed systemic approach to the field of metaphysics in the school of Rationalism. The book is nicely laid out with alternate translations and textual variations presented on almost every page to assist in understanding the intended meaning. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to learn about metaphysics (historical or contemporary) and Kant's thought.
