Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics That Will Be Able to Present Itself as a Science

Methodology and Conclusions

In «Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics That Will Be Able to Present Itself as a Science», Immanuel Kant employs a critical methodology aimed at exploring the possibilities and limits of human knowledge. He analyzes the fundamental concepts and principles underlying metaphysics and seeks to determine how metaphysics can become a science. Kant introduces the notion of «transcendental philosophy», which investigates the a priori conditions of the possibility of experience. He argues that metaphysics must be based on a critical analysis of reason and its capabilities, rather than on dogmatic assumptions. In his conclusions, Kant asserts that metaphysics as a science is possible only if it relies on transcendental principles that define the boundaries and conditions of human knowledge. Thus, Kant lays the groundwork for critical philosophy, which questions traditional metaphysical claims and strives for more rigorous and substantiated knowledge.
