Prefaces and Their Functions in Critique of Pure Reason

Kant didn't write out only a epistemological book with Critique of the Pure Reason which virtually wholly rerouted the history of philosphy. CPR acoomplishes the epistemological ground work of the Philosophy of Enlightenment. On this ground, Kant indicates the ethical perspective of Enlightenment. Preface to First Edition of CPR mostly purposes to attract attention to book. For this reason it does not have a higher-up technical style. On the contrary Preface to Second Edition write out under the confidence of first edition. In this respect, it has a more technical style. At the same time it indicates all of the most important subjects of CPR. Especially Copernican Revolution, logic, the ground of certainty of apriori natural science and explicit allusions to the ethical intension of CPR renders this preface a model of book.
