Prolegomena to any future metaphysics by Kant.
This book is actually an introduction to the metaphysics, we humans should be having among us, so says the author. So, to begin with,the book defines and establishes metaphysics as a collection of ideas we derive, not from our experience, not from our internal feelings or calculations, but apriori from pure reason. The discussion then hovers around a few questions like how to make science possible, or what role can metaphysics play. It then takes up an important issue of making metaphysics gel with science, while retaining all its speculative character. All this can transform it into a study of pure reason, the book concludes.
Though it took some time to make out, I find the ideas presented in these pages linked in a rather intuitive way.
