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. (-5[2])This book uses the terms “phenomena” and “noumena” (“NOO-men-uh”) to describe the appearance of a (10[1])thing and the unknowable thing-in-itself as part of its system of transcendental idealism. (10[1])This 1781 book argues that since infinitely many sets of numbers add to 12, the statement (-5[1])“7 + 5 = 12” is synthetic a priori. For 10 points, name this “First Critique” of Immanuel (10[1])Kant. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
