ABSTRACT

In the introduction of the first edition[A], Kant defined the Critique of Reason as ‘A Court of Justice’ and denoted as ‘The True Court of Justice’. I hope to elucidate and examine the essence of “Critique” in the context of a court system. By examining the Critique in the context of a court system, or more specifically, focusing on the duty of the court of justice, we can explore the basis of Critique. In order to do so, we must first confirm that Critique of Pure Reason is a court; second we must understand why it is indeed viewed as a court and finally we must identify that a court system inevitably arises from the duty of a Court of Reason. Next, we will discuss that the establishment of Critique of Pure Reason should be regarded as a momentous duty in the historic context of philosophical reasoning, and that such establishment marks the turnaround of the basis of my argument. Lastly, I will show the relationship between the inherent duty of a court of Reason and a transcendental cognition, then inquire about the meaning of its relationship. By appreciating the establishment of a court based upon the characters of Critique of Pure Reason and its inherent duty, the entirety of Critique will be better elucidated.
