The Role of Standpoints in Applied Metaphysics

چکیده
Applied metaphysics, which contains the knowledge of objects a priori, makes a system out of pure reason, and that system of pure rational knowledge is called metaphysics in the strict sense. Transcendental philosophy is the propaedeutic of metaphysics proper. Reason determines nothing [in metaphysics proper] but rather speaks always of only its own ability, and in metaphysics proper it makes use of this ability, and metaphysics is always understood in this sense. . . . The word [transcendental philosophy] has been used and understood as ontology; but this is not how we are taking it . . . In ontology one speaks of things in general, and thus actually of no thing – one is occupied with the nature of understanding for thinking of things; here we have notions through which we think things, namely, the pure notions of reason. But that was also transcendental philosophy, thus [ontology] belongs to it [Kant (1783), 29: 752].
