	Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics is one of the shorter works by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant.
		The Prolegomena contains an overview and defense of the Critique‘s main conclusions, sometimes by arguments Kant had not used in the Critique.

		Preamble On The Peculiarities Of All Metaphysical Cognition.
		These Prolegomena are destined for the use, not of pupils, but of future teachers, and even the latter should not expect that they will be serviceable for the systematic exposition of a ready-made science, but merely for the discovery of the science itself.
		For if there be concepts pertaining to metaphysics (as, for example, that of substance), the judgments springing from simple analysis of them also pertain to metaphysics, as, for example, substance is that which only exists as subject; and by means of several such analytical judgments, we seek to approach the definition of the concept.

		The metaphysics of previous generations, which Kant discusses in the Third Part, is dialectical nonsense: debates as to the nature of the soul or the possibility of freedom can go on and on and back and forth forever without reaching any satisfying conclusions.
		He cannot deny that metaphysics exists as a disposition of human reason (we are naturally drawn to metaphysical questions), but he does deny that metaphysics as it has been conducted can lead to any real knowledge.
		On one hand, he talks about the "dogmatic" metaphysics that he attributes to his rationalist predecessors, and on the other hand, he talks about the critical metaphysics he intends to set up in its place.

		After the completion of the work I offer here such a plan which is sketched out after an analytical method, while the work itself had to be executed in the synthetical style, in order that the science may present all its articulations, as the structure of a peculiar cognitive faculty, in their natural combination.
		But should any reader find this plan, which I publish as the Prolegomena to any future Metaphysics, still obscure, let him consider that not every one is bound to study Metaphysics, that many minds will succeed very well, in the exact and even in deep sciences, more closely allied to practical experience,
		If it becomes desirable to formulate any cognition as science, it will be necessary first to determine accurately those peculiar features which no other science has in common with it, constituting its characteristics; otherwise the.

	SparkNotes: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics: Overall Summary
		Kant claims that mathematics, natural science, and metaphysics all lay claim to synthetic a priori propositions—propositions that are necessarily but not trivially true, and can be known prior to experience.
		Metaphysics relies on the faculty of reason, which has nothing to do with experience.
		Metaphysics is unlike math or science in that its reach exceeds its grasp.

		Prolegomena is basically Kant's simplified version of his "Critique of Pure Reason".

		Kant also makes a distinction between dogmatic metaphysics, which was metaphysics “before he saved it.” Speculative metaphysics, that which he propounds, uses the ideas of reason carefully, which can be “scientific”.
		This is best illustrated by Kant's metaphysical antinomies4, which can rationally be "proved" true and, using another line of reasoning, false, thus showing reason has its limits, precisely when one starts dabbling in dogmatic metaphysics.
		Hume, who said metaphysics is impossible, because it depends on a priori synthetic propositions which are impossible, was thus refuted.

	SparkNotes: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics: Context
		While Kant was taught in a thoroughly rationalist tradition, he was able to use the best philosophy of both groups and reconcile their differences.
		The rationalists placed a heavy emphasis on metaphysics and knowledge gained through the exercise of the unaided intellect.
		George Berkeley asserted that nothing exists except in experience—"being is being perceived." David Hume argued that we have no rational justification for inferring any general laws about experience, and that our "knowledge" of cause and effect is more a matter of custom than necessity.

		This is not an oversight on his part, for Davidson remarks parenthetically that “…(I shall neglect possible asymmetries).”[22] Given that the idea of asymmetrical failure of translation seems such an obvious maneuver for the conceptual scheme proponent to adopt, it is curious Davidson does not inform us as to why he neglects these asymmetries.
		In any event, it is perhaps worth considering for a moment what the conceptual scheme proponent might say in favor of the idea of asymmetrical failure of translation.
		Joy’s version of the future is bleak in the extreme, in contrast to the mostly upbeat or utopian vision offered by other technologists such as Moravec and Kurzweil.

	Modern Philosophy
		A more decisive and elaborate transformation of Ancient Metaphysics (i.e., First Philosophy) into a science of a priori principles of human knowledge was subsequently carried out by Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason (1781).
		This means that Kant does not any longer conceive knowledge upon the old model of realiable perception although he still remains caught in the language of accurate representations.

	Prolegomena
		The good company into which metaphysics would thus have been brought, would have saved it from the danger of a contemptuous ill- treatment, for the thrust intended for it must have reached mathematics, which was not and could not have been Hume's intention.
		This is the reason that young thinkers are so partial to metaphysics of the truly dogmatical kind, and often sacrifice to it their time and their talents, which might be otherwise better employed.
		Heat and light are in a small space just as large as to degree as in a large one; in like manner the internal representations, pain, consciousness in general, whether they last a short or a long time, need not vary as to the degree.

	Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics
		Here intuition, being an intuition a priori, is before all experience, viz., before any perception of particular objects, inseparably conjoined with its concept.
		But even granting this possibility, a visualizing of that sort would not take place a priori, that is, before the object were presented to me; for without this latter fact no reason of a relation between my representation and the object can be imagined, unless it depend upon a direct inspiration.
		Hence it follows: that propositions, which concern this form of sensuous intuition only, are possible and valid for objects of the senses; as also, conversely, that intuitions which are possible a priori can never concern any other things than objects of our senses.
