This text, as with all the other works by the Königsberg philosopher, unmistakably bears the mark of an original, deep-thinking mind and contains many characteristic ideas and excellent observations that are often mentioned only in passing and which cannot easily be condensed in a short summary. As undeniable as this is, we regret that Herr Kant cannot be absolved of the charge that, in the present text as in other previous ones, he often substitutes a dialectical illusion for a proof or (to use his own expression) a cloud for Juno. [see 4:426.17–18] We consider it to be that much more of a duty to illustrate this with some examples, given Herr Kant looks down upon the most famous philosophers from his dialectical peak, just as a giant looks down upon the race of pygmies, and does not seem to be very far [106] from mistaking his subjective reason for objective reason or for an ideal of human reason.
