I don't know. I like how he divides and anatomizes his concepts. He's particularistic about everything and he offers interesting insights on beauty and his relation with the other critiques. I find the critique of judgment pretty comfy in terms of how he unites the three supersensibles into one esemplastic whole. His analysis of the sublime is fascinating as well. I never saw the difference between the beautiful and the sublime until I the critique of judgment. His work on the sublime reminds me of Malick's filmography.

Ive never read him, but I believe he provided a strictly rational foundation for morality/ ethics, which was big at the time because people thought the only alternative to god was nihilism

[Anonymous No.8938323]

Should I read Practical Reason before this one or is having read Pure Reason good?

[Anonymous No.8938470]

Read Kant and then complete the system yourself. It can and will be done.

The Critique of Pure Reason made my head spin and my view of the world crumble down *once I really understood it* (which required several readings during the years, and a generous helping of secondary literature about it - but I kept going at it because even from the first confused skim I realized that there was some terrible meaning I still wasn't able to grasp, and it kept calling me like a dark shadow over my existence).

Also: after finishing it, I realized I could pretty much understand all the weird intellectual books that I had accumulated in my bookshelf just because they were cool, but up to that moment looked like hieroglyphs to me (post-modern word salads, commentaries of some obscure kabbalistic work, mathematical analysis of computer algorithms etc.). It is like the extended workout of decoding Kant's concepts provided me with a universal key into every kind of text.

And lastly: Kant is the boss that will unlock pretty much all the modern and contemporary philosophy to you. His ideas changed the world of human thought in a radical way, and it is essential for understanding everything that came later.
