The Critique of Pure Reason is Immanuel Kant's philosophical treatise on the possibilities and limits of human knowledge. It examines how synthetic a priori judgments are possible and the roles of space, time, and the categories of understanding. It is worth listening to as an introduction to classical epistemology and German idealism.
