I laughed. I cried. What a brilliant translation of Kant's work! Every subtelty, every nauance of the big guys thought brought to sparkling light and clarity. A must for all serious scholars of this German thinker. I raise my glass of tepid water to this magnum opus.

* The publishers at Cambridge have finally answered our prayers with a paperback version of this tour-de-force. At only 38 Samolians this could well be the new chart busting "Mover and Shaker" in Amazon.com's Kantian line-up. Find out why cognitive giants are praising this translation as "brilliant," "definitive" and "bodacious!"

How long have the myriad metaphysiphiles in global academe waited for an astute, detailed, precisely annotated, intensely careful translation from the original German of Kant's very own brilliant lectures? This book is, to any serious Kant scholar or meta-groupie, as my collegues and I only mildly jocularly refer to ourselves as well as other devotees of Kant's metaphysics, the land of milk and honey, well seasoned by a plethora of footnote gracefully placed upon footnote. Losing ones "Self" in the densely layered forest of meaning and annotations is a philosopher's uberdream.

Neitzche was a fool! Kant lives on!
