  • 2. Munchhausen Statue Kaliningrad
    Baron Munchausen is a fictional German nobleman created by the German writer Rudolf Erich Raspe in his 1785 book Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. The character is loosely based on a real baron, Hieronymus Karl Friedrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen .

    The Critique of Pure Reason is a 1781 book by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, in which the author seeks to determine the limits and scope of metaphysics. A heavily-revised second edition was published in 1787. Also referred to as Kant's First Critique, it was followed by the Critique of Practical Reason and the Critique of Judgment . In the preface to the first edition, Kant explains that by a critique of pure reason he means not a critique of books and systems, but of the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience and that he aims to reach a decision about the possibility or impossibility of metaphysics. The First Critique is often viewed as culminating several centuries of early-modern philosophy, and inaugura...
