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 (10[1])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” (-5[1])and “noumena” (10[1])(“NOO-men-uh”) to describe the appearance of a thing and the unknowable (10[1])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 = (10[1])12” is synthetic a priori. (10[2])For 10 points, name this “First Critique” of Immanuel Kant. ■END■ (10[5]0[3])
