The Concordance is designed around units of philosophical sense whose limits in the text are indicated to the line. Unlike research tools based merely on the occurrence of key words (e.g., cause), it provides precise and complete information about not only the location but also the diversity of content in all the items covered by its survey. Furthermore it provides the capability for tracing the family of topics to which a particular text may belong. In short, the Concordance tells you as much as possible about a text before you look it up.
The Kantian text is daunting to students and scholars alike. I have used the Concordance with success in my own research, and have loaned it to students in my History of Modern Philosophy courses. Even students who are not majors have made use of it successfully. It is the only research tool designed to track major themes in the Critique, and it is certainly useful for anyone with a scholarly interest in Kant, but especially so for students who are struggling to break into the text.

Professor Reuscher has designed the Concordance to aid and assist anyone whose research is focused on The Critique of Pure Reason. This text is a wonderful entrance-point for students on their first approach to that book. However, it is of equal value to advanced Kantian scholars. Professor Reuscher charts the fundamental terminology structuring the first Critique; he provides a diagnostic account of its conceptual apparatus as well as the philosophical argumentation controlling these ideas.
