This book is an attempt to conduct a comprehensive examination of
Kant's metaphysic of Transcendental Idealism, which is everywhere
presupposed by his critical theory of knowledge, his theory of the
moral and the aesthetic judgement, and his rational approach to
religion. It will attempt to show that this metaphysic is
profoundly coherent, despite frequent inconsistencies of
expression, and that it throws an indispensable light on his
critical enquiries. Kant conceives of knowledge in especially
narrow terms, and there is nothing absurd in the view that
thinkables must, in his sense, extend far more widely than
knowables. Kant also goes further than most who have thought in his
fashion in holding that, not only the qualities of the senses, but
also the space and time in which we place them, have non-sensuous,
non-spatial, and non-temporal foundations in relations among
thinkables that transcend empirical knowledge. This contention also
reposes on important arguments, and can be given a sense that will
render it interesting and consistent. The book explores this sense,
and connects it with the thought of Kant's immediate predecessors
in the great German scholastic movement that began with Leibniz:
this scholasticism, it will be held, is throughout preserved as the
unspoken background of Kant's critical developments, whose great
innovation really consisted in pushing it out of the region of the
knowable, into the region of what is permissively or, in some
cases, obligatorily, thinkable.
