Metaphysicians have for centuries attempted to clarify the nature
of the world and how rational human beings construct their ideas of
it. Materialists believed that the world (including its human
component) consisted of objective matter, an irreducible substance
to which qualities and characteristics could be attributed.
Mind-thoughts, ideas, and perceptions was viewed as a more
sophisticated material substance. Idealists, on the other hand,
argued that the world acquired its reality from mind, which
breathed metaphysical life into substances that had no independent
existence of their own.These two camps seemed deadlocked until
Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" endeavoured to show that
the most accurate theory of reality would be one that combined
relevant aspects of each position, yet transcended both to arrive
at a more fundamental metaphysical theory. Kant's synthesis sought
to disclose how human reason goes about constructing its experience
of the world, thus intertwining objective stimuli with rational
processes that arrive at an orderly view of nature.
