Deng Xiaomang takes Kant and Hegel as the absolute core, and Fichte, Schelling, Feuerbach, etc. Are only briefly mentioned, which does not meet the teaching and research needs of a complete chronological history of German classical philosophy. The core issue of modern philosophy is epistemology, which has formed two opposing factions: empiricism and rationalism. Empiricism relies on sensory experience and eventually leads to skepticism; rationalism emphasizes rationality and easily falls into dogmatism. In order to end this debate, Kant proposed critical philosophy, which advocated a critical examination of reason itself. Its core task is to solve "How is a priori comprehensive judgment possible?" That is, why propositions that are both universally necessary and capable of expanding knowledge (such as the law of causality) are established. He pointed out through the "Copernican Revolution": It is our innate cognitive forms (such as time, space, and categories) that legislate nature. We do not passively accept the world, but actively construct knowledge. This reconciles experience with reason and provides the basis for the reliability of scientific knowledge. Reading Kant's long sentences is a powerful training for memory and logic. Analytical judgment clarifies knowledge, and comprehensive judgment increases knowledge; all empirical judgments are comprehensive judgments, and all analytical judgments are innate. Act so that the maxim of your will may at all times be regarded as a principle of universal legislation Entity is essentially the subject, and entity is just the expression of the subject's initiative. The universe is active, and everything is active. Dialectics is "eternal restlessness", emphasizing self-denial and self-movement, and opposing static and solidified ways of thinking.

If you have experience reading the history of Western philosophy, it will be easier to understand the content in the book.

The explanation is simple and easy to understand. Only after you understand the concept and framework of criticism can you easily read the original work.
