Mit seinem Buch "Die Kathegorien des Aristoteles" lieferte Salomon Maimon im Jahre 1794 nicht nur die erste neuzeitliche bersetzung der Kategorienschrift des Aristoteles ins Deutsche, sondern im zweiten Teil des Buches vor allem eine Darstellung seiner eigenen neuen Theorie des Denkens. Maimons philosophische Bestrebungen wurden von Kant gelobt und von den Zeitgenossen eifrig rezipiert.

Salomon Maimon was one of the most important and influential Jewish intellectuals of the Enlightenment. This is the first English translation of his principal work, first published in Berlin in 1790. "Essay on Transcendental Philosophy" presents the first English translation of Salomon Maimon's principal work, originally published in Berlin in 1790. This book expresses his response to the revolution in philosophy wrought by Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason". Kant himself was full of praise for the book and it went on to exercise a decisive influence on the course of post-Kantian German idealism. Yet, despite his importance for the work of such key thinkers as Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, Maimon never achieved the prominence he deserved. Today interest in Maimon's work is increasing rapidly, thanks in large part to prominent acclaim by Gilles Deleuze. This long-overdue translation brings Maimon's seminal text to an English-speaking audience for the first time. The text includes a comprehensive introduction, a glossary, translator's notes and a full bibliography. It also includes translations of correspondence between Maimon and Kant and a letter Maimon wrote to a Berlin journal clarifying the philosophical position of the Essay, all of which bring alive the context of the book's publication for the modern reader.

Der "Versuch über die Transzendentalphilosophie" ist eine produktive und radikale Kritik an Kants Philosophie. Maimon stellt hier die transzendentale Deduktion Kants und das Beweisziel einer "Theorie der Erfahrung" in Frage und präsentiert eine Kombination der kritischen Philosophie Kants mit Spinozas, Humes und Leibnizens Systemen.
