Euclidean geometry and quantum mechanics should have "undermined" Kant's philosophy, and shows that the reasoning behind this assertion is, in effect, inadmissible.

The writing style of this book is another reason for buying it. This book is completely free of scholastic obscurantism. There are no yawn-inducing pile-ups of abstract terms derived from Latin or Greek. Difficult and complex problems are never explained in Ciceronian periods. Single-clause sentences are the rule rather than the exception. I assume that the German original must have been written in this way, but it must then also be said that the translator, Marshall Farrier, has succeeded where few people have, i.e., in having translated a German work about philosophy into clear and natural English.

This is an excellent introduction to Kant's philosophy. I know of no better in the English language.
