Three Critiques: WITH Critique of Pure Reason AND Critique of Practical Reason AND Critique of Judgment: WITH Critique of Practical Reason: Vol. 1: ... Critique of Judgment (Kant's Three Critiques)

Kant's Critique is now about as old as America, and the central place it occupies in philosophic thought is beyond dispute. I have personally found it to be the most valuable source of insight available, relegating much of classical and medieval philosophy to the evolution chart, and in no wise superseded by Nietzsche or the moderns. I use translations of Kant both as an easy way of reading him at length, and as a trot when I push through the German text. Of those I have read, Kemp Smith is still very serviceable, Max Müller is not bad and sometimes very helpful, Guyer is so literal as to be baffling, but Pluhar surpasses them all for accuracy, readability, clarity and clear explanation (in footnotes) of all his interpretive choices. The bundled three Critiques are an incredible bargain. For my money, this is the definitive Kant in English. Printed on large pages with space for adding notes if you need to. HOWEVER the glue binding does not hold up in the 1030 Pure Reason volume. It's just too big for glue: it should have been made in 2 or 3 volumes. I now have the separated pages in an envelope. Getting a new copy wouldn't have helped: you can't glue bind a thousand page book. If it was available on Kindle I'd have gotten in that way. BUT IT'S STILL WORTH IT. No other English translations comes close, so bound or unbound, the value of this translation is "boundless."

I read all English translations of The Critique of Pure Reason. This text has extremely extensive notes. It is a solid translation but the layout is complex, so best for university.

The book is well translated. Since it is a hardcover, it is not as durable as a hardcover, but it does not hinder reading.

Perfect.

An incredibly complete edition of these three critiques. With both versions and all the notes from the critique of pure reason. The superior translation from Pluhar. Skimming through I found the language to be very readable and very accessible although I do feel that this is something more for a scholar than a regular layman you have to decide what level you're at but at the end of the day you will probably come back to Kant because that's where most philosophy comes from (so I am lead to believe) I'm glad I own it I will be studying it for years. Saved myself the hassle bought the best first ignore the other editions and volumes that are incomplete clunky translations so on and such. As a bonus the three volumes came wrapped in shrink wrap and avoided the damage usually caused by shipping.
