Tossup
This book describes its novel assumption that the world conforms to our knowledge as the “Copernican revolution” in philosophy. Quine’s Two Dogmas of Empiricism attacks a distinction originated in this book between statements that are true by definition and statements that are true because they describe the world. This book uses the terms “phenomena” and “noumena” (“NOO-men-uh”) to describe the appearance of a thing and the unknowable thing-in-itself as part of its system of transcendental idealism. This 1781 book argues that since infinitely many sets of numbers add to 12, the statement “7 + 5 = 12” is synthetic a priori. For 10 points, name this “First Critique” of Immanuel Kant. ■END■
