He is writing in favour of his project. Trying to frame his project in the best light. He wanted to promote something called critical philosophy . Begins by comparing articulations between reason and science. Critique of pure reason : reason that is pure, pure reason is not empirical, critique of pure reason is critique of a priori reason . Talks about logic: what logic does, is examine the way of thinking. What"s the problem with logic: its coherent, its unchanging, but also failing, there are limitations, it does nothing knew, it doesn"t progress, it doesn"t teach us anything new. Talks about mathematics and physics: other sciences requiring reason, different from logic, they are pure sciences, but they are expressions, objects in math are also a priori.
