Doctrine Of Method

In the Transcendental Doctrine of Method attempts to lay out the formal conditions of the complete system of pure reason. Kant's basic intention in this section of the text is to describe why reason should not go beyond its already well-established limits. In the first section, he presents the discipline of pure reason in the sphere of dogmatism, Kant clearly explains why philosophy cannot do what mathematics can do in spite of their similarities. Kant also explains that when reason goes beyond its own limits, it becomes dogmatic. For Kant, the limits of reason lie in the field of experience as, after all, all knowledge depends on experience. The three rules of the proofs of pure reason are, considering the legitimacy of your principles, each proposition can have only one proof because it is based on one concept and its general object, and only direct …show more content…
