Summary of Immanuel Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics

Immanuel Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (1783) is a seminal treatise of epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of science. Kant presents his "critical philosophy" as a resolution to the philosophical problems posed by the traditional dogmatic metaphysics of his day, thereby laying the groundwork for all subsequent forms of transcendental philosophy. Kant addresses the status of metaphysical knowledge, the nature of space and time, and the epistemological and methodological undertakings required by any serious metaphysical inquiry. Kant's groundbreaking conclusions and unique approach to philosophy would be influential in establishing the terms, conditions, and vocabulary of contemporary thought.
