Stung by the indifference and confusion that met the *Critique of Pure Reason* in 1781, Kant wrote the *Prolegomena* in an analytic, problem-driven style: how is pure mathematics possible? how is pure natural science possible? how is metaphysics as a science possible? The compact answers walk the reader through the transcendental aesthetic, the transcendental analytic, and the antinomies of reason without the Critique's relentless architectonic. It remains the best on-ramp to Kant's mature epistemology and metaphysics.
