純粹理性批判》（德語：Kritik der reinen Vernunft ）被公認為是德國哲學家伊曼努爾·康德流傳最為廣泛,最具影響力的著作,同時也是整個西方哲學史上最重要和影響最深遠的著作之一。初版於1781年,並於1787年再版的該書,常被稱做康德的「第一批判」,並與其後的《實踐理性批判》和《判斷力批判》並稱為康德「三大批判」。.

How an 18th-Century Philosopher is Still Relevant in the 21st Century.

The debate over what is right and what is wrong goes as far back as time itself. And the forces that govern moral – and political – law are just as murky today as they were 304 years ago.

Professor and philosophy department chair Larry Krasnoff sought to explore the philosophical questions raised by morality and politics in a new book he co-edited titled Kant’s Doctrine of Right in the 21st Century.

A leading authority on the 18th-century philosopher Immanuel Kant, Krasnoff, who also contributed an essay to the publication, uses this anthology of Kant’s Doctrine of Right and related texts to evaluate 21st-century issues such as human rights, social contract theory, forgiveness and punishment, welfare and equality, and civil disobedience.

The College Today posed four questions to Krasnoff to find out more about the German philosopher, why his ideas revolutionized Western philosophy, and how those concepts stand up to the problems of today.

.伊曼努爾·康德（德語：Immanuel Kant；德語發音：[ɪˈmaːnu̯eːl ˈkant]；1724年4月22日－1804年2月12日）,啟蒙時代著名普魯士王國哲學家,啟蒙運動時期的最後一位主要哲學家,德國古典哲學創始人。^]

康德被認為是繼蘇格拉底,柏拉圖和亞里斯多德之後,西方最具影響力的思想家之一，其學說深深影響近代西方。他開啟了德國唯心主義和康德義務主義等諸多流派,也影響了後世的新康德主義。

康德吸收,批判了英國經驗主義（休謨、貝克萊）與歐陸理性主義（主要是沃爾夫-萊布尼茲的理性傳統）,對德國唯心主義（費希特、黑格爾）,浪漫主義影響深遠。 他調和了勒內·笛卡兒的理性主義與法蘭西斯·培根的經驗主義^]。

他的核心著作被合稱為「三大批判」,即《純粹理性批判》,《實踐理性批判》和《判斷力批判》,分別闡述了知識學,理學和美學^[。此外康德在宗教哲學,法律哲學和歷史哲學方面也有論著。

康德的劃時代巨著《純粹理性批判》標誌著哲學研究由本體論轉向認識論。他認為,把感觀經驗轉化為知識的能力,對知識之外的理念加以實踐的能力,這兩種能力來自與生俱來的理性,否則人將無法理解世界。

在關於「現象界」的認識論與關於「意志自由」的倫理學之間,在對自然現象界的認識與意志自由的統一當中，康德著述了《批判力批判》。此外他還對太陽系的形成提出過第一個現代的理論解釋,即康德-拉普拉斯假設。

Immanuel Kant  German: [ɪˈmaːnu̯eːl ˈkant];^] 22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher (a native of the Kingdom of Prussia) and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. Born in Königsberg, Kants comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential figures in modern Western philosophy.

In his doctrine of transcendental idealism, Kant argued space and time are mere "forms of intuition" that structure all experience and that the objects of experience are mere "appearances." The nature of things as they are in themselves is unknowable to us. In an attempt to counter the skepticism, he wrote the Critique of Pure Reason (1781/1787), his most well-known work. Kant drew a parallel to the Copernican revolution in his proposal to think of the objects of the experience as conforming to our spatial and temporal forms of intuition and the categories of our understanding, so that we have a priori cognition of those objects.
