Critique of Pure Reason Metaphors and Similes

Critique of Pure Reason Metaphors and Similes

Transcendental Observations

The metaphor of transcendental observations has been used for human’s experiences of their surroundings. According to Kant, humans can draw various conclusions based on their observation of the outer world. They have the capability of recreating every object in their mind which they see with their external senses. Humans can understand unseen things and patterns through their imagination, so Kant has used this metaphor to demonstrate the ability of humans to recognize through intuition.

Transcendental Logic

Kant has employed the metaphor of transcendental logic for all the deductions which humans draw from their observations. He narrates that although reason applies to only those things which we experience, so there is no truth about the logic of man regarding the origin of universe, our perceived freedom or fate, the meaning of universe. He reiterates that logic must be drawn from our own experiences rather than false idealism.

Pure Reason

The reason which excludes the metaphysical concepts, has been metaphorically described as pure reason. The author states that pure reason does not include those concepts which lead to transcendental awakening. Human beings are capable of deducing results from their general experiences with the outer world, but Kant discourages this ability and urges people to believe concepts which have logical evidence.
