Has anyone read the brilliant Critique Of Pure Reason?
This perhaps isnt the place for this but still ...
It was part of my syllabus last year for my Master's.
My teacher mentioned that there is a group of English University professors in philosophy who have been meeting once per week in London for the last decade in order to discuss in details this masterpiece. They were still on p. 14 when she mentioned this :p

From the book -I can't say I understood everything completely btw- I mostly enjoyed the critique on the Aristotelian notions of synthetic and analytic judgement and the transcendental exposition of space and time. The latter gave us somewhat of a trouble during the lectures and the impossibility of 'two straight lines can neither contain any space nor, consequently, form a figure'.

well he did start a revolution on virtualy all fields that require a work of mind
and me (cambridge physics and math student) and my gf (law student) read and discussed it and we are still having a lot of troubles at some points, we understand the basics but when you go into the details it becomes quite mind boggling, but i can without hesitation say that this is the greatest work i have ever read, i might be a physicist but Kant and Copernican revolution are the basis of modern science
