The text of Martin Heidegger's 1927—28 university lecture course on Emmanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason presents a close interpretive reading of the first two parts of this masterpiece of modern philosophy. Heidegger develops his reading of Kant against the neo-Kantianism of his day, demonstrating that objectification of beings as beings is inseparable from knowledge a priori, the central problem of Kant's Critique.
