具体描述
Most honourable Procurator Stiffeniis,
You talents have been brought to Our attention by a gentleman of eminence, who believes that you alone are capable of resolving a situation which holds Our beloved Königsberg in a grip of terror. All Our faith and consideration are due to the notable personage who suggested your name, and that same faith and consideration now resides in you. We have no reason to doubt that you will accept this Royal Commission, and act accordingly with all haste. The fate of the city lies in your hands.
--King Frederick Wilhelm III
It has been years since Immanuel Kant’s landmark philosophical work, Critique of Pure Reason, brought him fame throughout Europe and made him Königsberg’s best-known citizen. Now, rumors have begun to surface of a new work by this aging but still acute mind. Yet unlike his earlier work, this book will not examine the mind of the average man, but the mind of the serial killer.
Hanno Stiffeniis, a young magistrate, has been called to Königsberg to assist in the investigation of an enigmatic string of murders. Is it part of a plot formed by Napoleon’s spies to undermine the Prussian king or the work of a solitary, unknown killer? The case would seem unsolvable, were it not for the assistance and unmatched intellect of his mentor, Immanuel Kant. Together Stiffeniis and the elderly, eccentric philosopher must track down the killer who has the city of Königsberg by the throat.
Hugely atmospheric, entertaining, and intelligent, Critique of Criminal Reason marks the outstanding debut of a new name in historical fiction.

读后感
纯粹理性的谋杀，可能存在于这个世界吗？题目本身就很吸引人，并且书中又穿插了康德的哲学、普鲁士的历史，确实教人眼花缭乱。看一部侦探小说的同时，能够收获到一点关于哲学家的知识，这无疑是很罕见的。作者对于谋杀的看法，从深刻的层面看来，竟与江户川乱步如出一辙。最无...
评分完全不是我所希望看到的推理小说，充满了各种冗长的细节及心理描写。这些描写虽然能很好地体现当时人们的生活状态、价值观，但一来很难引起我的共鸣，二来我没有那么多时间细细地读下去，唯一支撑我的是对于结尾的期待。 或许是太过浮躁，书中大量的细节让我昏昏欲睡；抑或是对...
评分康德（Kant）命令朗普（Lampe）化装成自己的样子半夜提刀满大街追砍费希特（Fichte）。想想这个场景都让我要笑死了。 哲学与侦探小说嫁接，总是有点磕磕绊绊的；不如变态心理学和侦探小说结合那么引人入胜，例如《沉默的羔羊》。 齐泽克编的《不敢问希区柯克的，就问拉康吧》...
评分 评分起初被书名欺骗了，还以为是哲学类书。但封面上模拟鲜血的湿润态作为副标题“纯粹理性杀人事件”的补充，又一锤定音般，直接把我引向谋杀推理类。这个跳跃是潜在读者可能会遭遇的暗示，但就我的个人经验而言，在读完全书之后，又不得不反跳跃回去，把频道从连环谋杀、失败推理...
