Kant's Critical Philsophy

This short book by Gilles Deleuze examines Kant's three main texts - Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Judgement, which make up the bulk of Kant's critical philosophy.

Deleuze's own philosophy is quite different from Kant's and he describes this as a 'book on an enemy' in which he is trying to get at how Kant thinks. Deleuze has succeeded admirably. The book, at under 100 pages, is a clear and concise explication of Kant's thought; as an introduction to Kant's critical philosophy it is indispensible.

The book is easy to read, manages to render transparent some of Kant's notoriously difficult concepts and returns the Third Critique to its rightful position in Kant's system. Highly recommended.
