The Preface to the Second Edition of Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant, published in 1787, is a seminal text in the history of philosophy. In this preface, Kant revises his critical method initially introduced in the first edition of 1781, clarifying his ideas and responding to criticisms. This preface is famous for introducing the Copernican analogy in philosophy, proposing that objects must conform to our knowledge, rather than our knowledge conforming to objects. Kant delves into the limits of pure reason and justifies his renowned distinction between phenomena (the world as we perceive it) and noumena (the world as it is in itself, independent of our perceptions). This work is crucial for understanding the development of modern philosophy, marking a shift in thought that prioritizes the subjective perspective, thus inaugurating German Idealism. In this preface, Kant also emphasizes the importance of metaphysics and his transcendental method, which seeks to uncover how a priori knowledge is possible. This is essential reading for those interested in Kant's philosophy and its implications on metaphysics, epistemology, and logic.
