Kant’s Way to Metaphysics of Ideas. Prolegomena for Reading of the Introduction and the First Book of Transcendental Dialectics

Robert Theis

In the Introduction and in the first book of the Transcendental Dialectics in the Critique of Pure Reason Kant introduces and further elaborates his program of so called Metaphysics of Ideas. In this paper the aforementioned program will be presented twofold: 1. From the perspective of the historical evolution some paradigmatic focal points of the Kantian project of the “reform of the metaphysics” will be elucidated; 2. From the systematical perspective a question will be posed regarding the possible meaning of a metaphysics under the given premises of its reform – the “change of the style of thinking” (B XIX).

Keywords: Kant · reform of the metaphysics · transcendental dialectics · method · ideas
