fufficient, 203 ; a defideratum to his Lo¬ 
gic, 206; his ten Categories and five Poll

Categories, twelve adlivities which con- 
ftitute the Underfunding , 203 ; every ob- 
je£l of Senfe mull be claffed under them, 
ibid. Ariftotle’s and Kant’s compared, ibid, 
are principles a priori of all poffible expe¬ 
rience, 221 ; but the principles of poffible 
experience are the Laws of Nature, 
ibid, when feparated from objefts of ex¬ 
perience, have no fignification at all, 222 ; 
how difcovered by Kant, 225. 
Gaufality of Reafon or of Ideas, in pro¬ 
ducing effects in the l'enfible world, is 
Freedom , 2305 may be confidered as the 
firlt commencement of a feries of Pheno¬ 
mena t; yet a fubordinate commencement, 
whofe event is connedted with a chain 
of caufes in nature, ibid.

another , and to produce a third thing called 
Effetf, 239.

Certainty and Convidlion in Metaphy¬ 
sics, originate in the Categorical Mode

by the Conftrudlion of Conceptions, which 
admits of Demonftration ; and in Natu¬ 
ral Philosophy by Analogy and In- 
dudtion, 209.

tive Reafon, 229. 
Covvper, his words applied to Kant, 207.

fentations of them, 219. 
Critic of Judgment, proves that the 
Judgment is an original legifiative fa¬ 
culty, 208. 
Critic of Pure Reason, not tranfiated 
into Englilh, 202 ; let it undergo a fevere 
and impartial examination, ibid, refolves 
all the difficulties of Speculative Philofo- 
phy, 207; a Glorious Book, ibid, it 
contains an entirely new fcience, of which 
no one had previoufiy conceived the 
thought, 210; the pofition which is its 
refuit is eftablifhed, 234; whoever has 
once tafted the Critic, loaths for ever

Defires, when determined by Speculative 
Reafon, are infinite, 200-. 
Dialectic of Reafon can never be terminated 
but by a Syftem of genuine Metaphyfics, 
201; is grounded upon the Ideas of 
Reafon as follows-; upon the PJychological , 
the Paralogisms; upon the Cofmolo- 
gical , the Antinomies; upon the Theo¬ 
logical, the Ideal of Pure Reafon, 227.

of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, by Mr. 
Dugald Stewart,remarks upon Note I. 201. 
Diftindtion between Ideas of Reafon and 
Con c eptions of Underftanding is fo ne- 
ceffary, that without it Metaphyfics are

215; cannot teach us the nature of the 
things in themfelves, 219 ; is the joint

tion of all our defires, 200; muft be dif- 
tin&ly feparated from the Idea of Duty, 
ibid, the defire of it effential to human 
nature, ibid, muft not alone be confidered 
as the chief good; for man not only defires 
to be happy, but alfo to be virtuous,

of nature, 199. 
How is knowledge from pure Reafon pof¬ 
fible? 214. 
How are fynthetical pofitions a priori poffible? 
214; upon the folution of this queftion 
Metaphysics muft either ftand or fall, 
215 ; Transcendental Philosophy 
is the complete lolution ol the propofed 
queftion, and did not exill prior to our day, 
ibid, pure intuition is the matter for Syn¬ 
thetical Judgments, 216.

How is Nature pofiible ? 223 this queftion

covery of Metaphysics? 234. 
Hume, ftruck the firft fpark of this new 
philofophy, 206 ; firft roufed Kant from 
his dogmatical (lumbers, 207 ; on Cauje 
and EffcSl, ibid, he became a confirmed 
fceptic, ibid, his attack on Metaphyfics, 
209 ; his enquiry concerning the origin 
of the Conception Cause, 2105 refeued 
from the attacks, of his enemies by Kant, 
2115 felt the call worthy a philolophef
