What are some secondary texts, in the form of online articles, to read about Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics before I jump into the text and to ease myself into understanding it?

It would be preferable these web articles were written by Kant scholars and could be finished in around ~15 minutes.


I'm using the translation by Paul Carus as the Prolegomena, if that is of any relevance.

This is the version:--

(https://www.amazon.com/Kants-Prolegomena-any-Future-Metaphysics-ebook/dp/B004UO69DE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525052190&sr=8-1&keywords=1420938266)

Citation for the link above:--

Kant, Immanuel. Kant's Prolegomena to any future metaphysics. No. 53. Open court publishing Company, 1912.

1) Not an article but there's a YouTube talk on the Prolegomena which might get you launched :

2) http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/prolegomena/section4/

It is worth a browse.

3) https://www.gradesaver.com/prolegomena-to-any-future-metaphysics/study-guide/summary-preamble

It is pretty basic but useful.

There is a Kant scholar that writes on Quora, but his writings aren't all about the Prolegomena:--
