The second, The Critique of Practical Reason, followed in 1788, and the third, The Critique of Judgment, in 1790. The Critique of Pure Reason is the first of three critiques. This is part of a larger Kantian project known as transcendental idealism, a philosophy that seeks the necessary conditions for the possibility of objective reality by investigating the powers of the human mind. It is the business of the critique to set determinant boundaries to all possible knowledge through an investigation into the nature of human experience. |1 .i22859469 |b 1010000020770 |d as |g - |m |h 4 |x 0 |t 0 |i 1 |j 18 |k 010702 |n 08-22-2017 18:39 |o - |a B2773.Among other things, the Critique of Pure Reason functions as a sustained introduction to Kant’s philosophy of critical idealism, a system of ideas that seeks to determine the limits of metaphysical knowledge via a “science” of human reason. |a Indianapolis : |b Bobbs-Merrill, |c 1956.

'Critique of Practical Reason' is an excellent work on the philosophy of morality and a seminal work by one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Kant's ideas on how one determines if something is morally good and how children and students can be taught morals has remained widely influential in the study of ethics to this day. Kant argues that it is the motivation to do good, a desire to follow an obligation of duty and honor, that is critical to being a good person. Kant argues that a categorical imperative must guide whatever maxim one establishes for dealing with all decisions with moral implications so that one may be morally good and make ethical choices.

In this work, Kant explores his philosophy of the categorical imperative, a general rule for behavior that can be applied universally. Written several years after his first critique, 'Critique of Pure Reason', this work addresses Kant's views on moral philosophy and what it means to be good and ethical. The second of Immanuel Kant's three critiques, 'Critique of Practical Reason', published in 1788, is considered by many to be one of the most important works on the subject of moral philosophy ever written.
