"Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical work published in 1783. Written as a more accessible summary of his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant investigates whether metaphysics can exist as a legitimate science. He examines how pure mathematics and natural science achieve certainty through synthetic a priori knowledge, tracing the origins and limits of human reason. The work responds to critics while defending the critical importance of establishing metaphysics on firm foundations.
