Mainly to say that picking a translation of kants critique is critical pun intended
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I felt that this one was about as clear as possible given kants one might say fractal slicing and dicing of his concepts and ideas in the common use of those words not in his technical use

It is true that kant is difficult but it is not true that you cant understand him

You can still follow the argument
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Weigelt provides an interesting introduction which is also a kind of 34triptik34 that you can consult when you have lost the thread of the argument perhaps due to setting the book aside for months at at time
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I would add that if you follow kants argument all the way to the end of the 34transcendental dialectic34 you will find that it takes what one can only regard as a strange and surprising twist beginning with the 34appendix to the transcendental dialectic34 strange and surprising and in a way inconsistent even though he has been telegraphing it all the way
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The other reason this book was a hard read was because the articles and sections of this book were so long but reading this work was worth it in the end
