I'm using an axe; you use a scalpel. In as much as I'm chopping wood, I think I have the more useful tool.....I shall await your exposition as to how the one might be grounded in the other. — Mww
With the "which we already have," I am looking at my seeing a tree or having an idea of a triangle as products of a process that for present purpose is just a black box process - I buy Kant's explication of the inner workings of the black box.but with its form from intuition, which we already have. — Mww

Does Kant define what is transcendental metaphysics in the CPR? — Corvus
Not that I know of. Defines metaphysics as such, defines transcendental this or that pursuant to context, but doesn’t explicitly combine them. But he does so combine transcendental and philosophy, so one could make the leap if he wanted to badly enough. — Mww
I have forked off a thread for Kant's Critique here, as to avoid getting the two books tangled up in one thread. — darthbarracuda
