He also published multiple other works such as Groundwork of the Metaphysics.
  • Critique of Pure Reason

    In 1781 Immanuel Kant published Critique of Pure Reason, in which he discusses the limits and scope of pure reason. Kant discusses a priori (the knowledge we have independent of experience) and and posteriori knowledge (the knowledge we gain from experience.)
  • Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals

    In 1785, Kant published Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, which lays down the groundwork of foundational ethics that Kant believed were needed for future research.
  • Critique of Practical Reason

    In 1788, Kant published Critique of Practical Reason, the second critique of Kant's three critiques. It follows his first critique and continues his ideals on moral philosophy.
  • Critique of Judgment

    In 1790, Immanuel Kant published Critique of Judgment, in this book Kant discusses our faculty of judgment. Kant also talks about the concept of teleology, the idea that something has an end, or purpose, which Kant believes that teleology can be a useful concept in scientific work.
