Immanuel Kant was a great philosopher and one of the founders of the modern system of philosophy. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers as Aristotle, Isaac Newton, John Locke, David Hume, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and John Stuart Mill. Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

Kant published one of his most influential work The Critique of Practical Reason in 1788 to lay the foundations for modern moral philosophy. The book was regarded as Kant's Second Critique.  Kant's First Critique was Critique of Pure Reason and Third Critique was The Critique of Judgement.

In The Critique of Practical Reason, Kant explored a decisive influence on the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy. He concluded that practical reason is the capability of determining the will by applying a general principle that can be either a maxim if it is based on a desire or a law if it applies universally.

Kant's work produced great influence on modern philosophy and logic. His view became widely recognised as the foremost philosophical voice and his influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.

This book is one of the most important ones about philosophy beyond the level of debate between the rationalists and empiric by Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest thinkers of modern philosophy on the planet.
