The format of this work is somewhat unusual in that before considering Kant's text I first systematically set out his basic views on space, time, judgment, substance, and the world. It is only then, with these views "in hand" so to speak, that I turn to consider the text. A clear understanding of Kant’s views is only one component of an understanding of his text. Having these views already in hand enables me to then focus on the textual structure without having to constantly divert attention to the philosophical issues.
