Review:
"Georges Dicker's book is a remarkably cogent, clear, and accessible treatment of the first half of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. It advances an attractive interpretation of this material that will be of interest to any scholar of Kant's metaphysics and epistemology. Partly because it incorporates a fair-minded exposition and evaluation of the most influential work in this area of the past forty years, it is to my mind now the best companion for a first course on the Critique."--Derk Pereboom, University of Vermont
"Dicker is deft in integrating technically sophisticated descriptions of Kant's arguments with clear, illuminating examples."--Choice
"Given the extreme difficulty of both Kant's prose and thought, I tend to be sceptical of this project of making Kant safe for beginners, so I was happily surprised to see that Dicker largely succeeds in his aim: he knows how to present Kant to students at the 'right' level of simplification. The book's prose is highly lucid and readable throughout, and Dicker presents wonderfully clear presentations of Kant's arguments, highlighting their structure and motivating their premises."--Harold Langsam, Philosophical Books
