The Critique of Pure Reason is Kants acknowledged masterpiece in which he tackles the question of how we can possibly have knowledge that does not rest on experience (a priori knowledge). The first half of the Critique advances a constructive theory of human cognition & defends the possibility of human knowledge against the skeptical empiricism of Hume. These sections of the Critique are difficult for beginners & for advanced students alike. While there exist many scholarly works discussing the Critique on an advanced level this book is explicitly designed to be read alongside the text by first-time readers of Kant. Dicker makes Kants views & arguments as accessible as possible without oversimplifying them & synthesizes the views of contemporary scholars. Kants Theory of Knowledge will be useful to both undergraduate & graduate students struggling with this notoriously difficult yet deeply influential thinker. ...

As Fyodor Karamazov awaits an amorous encounter he is violently done to death. The three sons of the old debauchee are forced to confront their own guilt or complicity. Who will own to parricide? The reckless & passionate Dmitri? The corrosive intellectual Ivan? Surely not the chaste novice monk Alyosha? The search reveals the divisions which rack the brothers yet paradoxically unite them. Around the writhings of this one dysfunctional family Dostoevsky weaves a dense network of social psychological & philosophical relationships. At the same time he shows
- from the opening 'scandal' scene in the monastery to a personal appearance by an eccentric Devil
- that his dramatic skills have lost nothing of their edge. The Karamazov Brothers completed a few months before Dostoevsky's death in 1881 remains for many the high point of his genius as novelist & chronicler of the modern malaise. It cast a long shadow over D. H. Lawrence Thomas Mann Albert Camus & other giants of twentieth-century European literature.
