Summary:

The book presents a profound inquiry into the limits and structure of human cognition, arguing that experience is shaped by both sensory input and innate understanding. It introduces key concepts such as the distinction between a priori and a posteriori knowledge, the categories of understanding, and the ideas of space and time as forms of intuition, fundamentally challenging traditional metaphysics and epistemology.
