This essential text by one of the founders of modern philosophy offers an accessible introduction to his views on logic, aesthetics, and morality.   Written during the height of the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant’s Introduction to Logic is a clear and concise primer for his larger works Critique of Pure Reason and Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. More accessible than his other books, it provides definitions of Kantian terms and a clear discussion of each of his philosophical pursuits.   For more advanced Kantian scholars, this book can bring to light some of the enduring issues in Kant’s repertoire; for the beginner, it can open up the philosophical ideas of one of the most influential thinkers on modern philosophy.   This edition comprises two parts: “Kant’s Introduction to Logic” and an essay titled “The Mistaken Subtilty of the Four Syllogistic Figures,” in which Kant analyzes Aristotelian logic.

Part I of this coherent, well-organized text deals with formal principles of inference and definition. Part II explores elementary intuitive set theory, with separate chapters on sets, relations, and functions. Ideal for undergraduates.
