Texts

Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason

, tr. Norman Kemp Smith (Palgrave Macmillan; 2nd edition, 2007) (ISBN: 0230013384).

I’ve ordered the above at the Literary Guillotine. If you prefer a different translation (or, better, the original), that’s OK. Assigned readings are all from the B edition. Readings from other texts will be available online, either via publicly available links or on Canvas.
