New Theory of the mechanical conftrudHon 
of the heavenly bodies by Kant, 206. 
Noumetta are the things in themfelves of 
•which •we know nothing, nor indeed ever 
can ; for they are out of Time and Space, 
223. 
Object, every, in nature mull ftand under 
the twelve Categories, or it is not 
conceivable, 203 ; that is fuperfenfible 
mull ftand under the six Ideas, ibid, 
fenlible and fuperfenfible, 205. 
Objective unity defined, 204; is the joint 
produce of the twelve unities or Catego¬ 
ries, ibid. 
Objects that affedl our Senses imply only 
how they appear to us, but not how they 
are in themfelves, 217. 
Paradox for folption, 217. 
Phenomena originate in Sense, 213; the 
judgments concerning them depend upon 
Understanding, ib. looked upon by 
the earlier philofophers as illuf.ons, while 
reality was given only to intellectual beings, 
(Noumena,) 223 ; which implies that 
they have for a foundation a thing in itfelf, 
(Noumenon,) ibid. 
Phenomenon, or mere appearance, is fu b j e ct 
to continual change, to decay, and to re¬ 
novation, 200. 
Philofophy, the ultimate end of which is to 
render man ftridtly rational, 201 ; not 
to be learned, but by it to learn how to 
philofophize, ibid. 
Philofophy of Mind, in it are developed all 
the elements and principles of the liberal 
arts, and the roots of all the Sciences, 208. 
Phyfics defined, 198. 
Pit actical Reason, by virtue of which, 
man is not only free, but gives moral 
laws to himfelf, 200 ; produces the great- 
eft fyftemalic unity among our defires,2oi. 
Predicaments, 202. 
Principle, the, of all analytical Judgments 
is that of Contradiction, 212 ; of all Syn¬ 
thetical Judgments is that of Sufficient 
Rcafon , 213. 
Prolegomena to all future Metaphyfics that 
lhall deferve the name of a Science, 21a. 
Proof of the completenefs of the Catego¬ 
ries, 239. 
Properties of the Circle, 224. 
Psychological Idea of Reason, the 
Soul, 227. 
Pfychology, zor. 
Pure Intuition is the matter for fyn- 
theticarjudgments a priori, 216. 
Pure Physiological Table of the 
Univerfal Principles of Natural Philofo¬ 
phy, 221 ; this is quite perfect, for it 
contains all the fynthetjcal principles d 
priori, according to a principle, and we 
now know there can be no other Phyfiolo- 
gical principles, ibid. 
Pure Reafon does not reprefent by its Ideas, 
particular objects which lie beyond the 
field of experience, 227; to which a Syf- 
tem of Categories is ind fpenfable, 228. 
Ouai.ity, Reality, Negation, Limitation, 
238; exprefles the conception of a degree 
in general, 239. 
Quantity, one, many, all, 238, expreffes 
the Conception of Number in ■ general, 
*39 
Ratiocination diffedted, 239; Categorical, 
Hypothetical, and Disjunctive, 240. 
Reafon is the Lafis of Morality, 198 j author 
of : ts own principles ; and the only fpring 
of all moral actions is reverence for its 
Law', ib. commands how man ought to 
sdt, 199 ; commands that the homo pheno¬ 
menon lhould be judged by and fubjedted 
to the homo noumenon, aoo j is the fource 
whence Ipring not only the Moral 
METAPHYSICS. 
Law, but the Ideas of our own Soul, of 
the Deity, and of a Future State, 
ib. it adts free from Time and Space, 
ib. is divifible into two parts, Pure 
Speculative and Pure Practical, 
105 ; conftitutes a certain fort of Objects 
not met with in experience, viz. God, the 
Soul, See. 205 ; has produced Metaphyfics 
as its favorite though youngeft offspring, 
232; is the higheji degree of Sponta¬ 
neity and power to form Ideas, 239; is 
an adtive faculty of fo pure a nature as to 
conned! parts out of Time and Space, of 
which it produces wholes called Ideas, 
240. 
Receptivity, a paflive faculty of the Mind, 
called Sense, 202j divifible into two, 
the one receives parts in fucceffion, the 
other parts co-exiftent , 203. 
Refledtions upon the tiue computation of 
living powers by Kant, 206. 
Reid, Ofwald, Beattie, and Priefttey, over¬ 
looked Hume’s aim at improvement in 
Metaphyfics, 209.

ties, of the Caufe to its Eft'edt, and of 
Action to Re-adtion, 239. 
Religion, animated by it, the virtuous man 
hopes to attain the great end of all his 
exertions in the world to come, 201. 
Remark. As knowledge advances, the old 
terms will be found inadequate, and a 
new and more appropriate ufe of them 
will be required, Dut there is danger of 
their being confounded with the old, 215. 
Scepticifm, 201 ; promifes us nothing ; not 
even the repofe of undifturbed ignorance, 
214. 
Science of Metaphyfics is founded upon an 
accurate Analyfis of the Mind, 201. 
Scope of Creation, 201. 
Second Tranfcendeutal Queftion, How is 
pure natural philofophy pofiible ? 219. 
Self-love propoles the fatisfying our defites, 
inftindls, and inclinations, 200. 
Sense is the paflive faculty of the Mind, 
which receives impreffions, 202 ; receives 
the Matter of Knowledge, 204 ; it cannot 
fhow how the things exift in themfelves 
independent of the mind, 218 ; it fur- 
nilhes merely phenomena for the Un¬ 
derstanding to refledt upon, ibid; 
defined, 238 ; it is the frfi degree of 
Spontaneity and the power to form 
Intuitions, ib. 
Senfible reprefentations are mere phenome¬ 
na, 219. 
S^nfitive Being, in his fearch after Happi- 
nefs, muft not olFend againft the Laws of 
Reafon, 200. 
Soul, the, does not refide among the Pheno¬ 
mena of Nature, 198 ; it occupies a dif¬ 
ferent ftation from the Body, for it is out 
of Time and Space, i. e. it is in the Mo¬ 
ral World, 200. 
Source of Metaphyfics, 212. 
Space, defined, 203 ; is the form of all ex¬ 
ternal phenomena, 217; renders the ex- 
tenfion of matter pofiible, 218; all the ob- 
j efts in it are mere phenomena, but not the 
things in themfelves, ib. is inherent in 
the mind only, ib. 
Speculative Reafon, for want of a Critic, 
conftantly obtrudes itfelf on the Decilions 
of Sound Reafon, 201; produces the great- 
eft fyftematic unity of all our Knowledge, 
ib. has contradictions, which muft be 
convincingly removed, 228. 
Spontaneity defined, 203. 
Stewart, Mr. Dogald, ooes not perceive the 
value of the new difeoveries in Metaphy¬ 
fics, 201 ; has completely mifundetftood 
the labours of Kant and his followers,, 
202 ; a pvedi&icn that he could not fue- 
ceed in difeovering the Elements of the 
Mind, unlefs he fell upon thofe difeovered 
by Kant 36 years ago, 205 ; had better 
devote his time to comprehend the Syf- 
tem already extant, 206 ; what an oppor¬ 
tunity occurs for this elegant writer to 
immortalize himfelf! ib. 
Stridlly-metaphyfical Judgments are always 
fynthetical, 214. 
Subftance is that, which lafis in Time, and 
has properties that change, 239. 
Superftition, 201. 
Syftem of the Categories, fornifiies an un¬ 
doubted guide to complete abfolutely 
every metaphyfical contemplation, 225 ; 
it is indifpenfable to a Syftem of Pure 
Reafon, 228.

Third Tranfcendental Queftion, Hew ars 
Metaphyfics in general pofiible? 226. 
Thought is one Conception joined to an¬ 
other, 205. 
Time defined, 203. 
Time and Space are pure Intuitions a pri¬ 
ori, which are nothing more than the 
forms of our Senfitive Faculty, 217; they 
do not adhere to things in themfelves, 
ibid. 
Time and Space, with all they contain, 
are nothing in tbenfe/ves independent of 
the Mind ; they are only modes of repre- 
fentation, and therefore cannot be ex'tfi- 
ing things, 229. 
Transcendental Idealism not to be 
confounded with the Empirical Idealfm of 
Defcartes, nor with the myfticai and fana¬ 
tical Idealifm of Berkeley, 219. 
Transcendental Philosophy proves 
that the Laws of Morality are to be fought 
for in Reafon alone, 199 ; in point of 
Treatment is perfedtly analogous to the 
Mathematics, 203 ; forms one chain of 
arguments, ib. its difeovery marks a new 
era in the human mipd, 206; is the 
proudelt boaft of Reafon, ib. its applica¬ 
tion to Nature, to Art, and to Liberty , 
208.

ceptions of the Underftanding, that is, of 
the Categories, 220. 
True Philosophy of the Mind, an 
ineftimabie jewel, 204. 
True System of the Categories, excludes 
all heterogeneous conceptions from mix¬ 
ing with the pure conceptions of Under¬ 
standing, 225. 
Vice and Virtue do not differ from each 
other merely in degree, but in Princi¬ 
ple, 208. 
Virtue confifts in the moral ftrength of man 
in fulfilling his Duty, 200 ; its firft requi- 
fite i? the dominion of man over himfelf, 
. 208. 
Understanding, an adtive faculty of the 
mind, divided into 12 Categories or minor 
activities, 203; the action of this faculty 
is ftridtly limited to Time and Space, ib. 
every objedt in nature muft ftand under 
thefe 12 notions, ib. gives a form to 
the matter received by Sense, 204 ; does 
not form intuitions, but merely reflects, 
218; does not derive its laws a priori 
from nature, hut preferibes them to it, 
224; defined as an adtive iaculty called 
Spontaneity, of the Jecond degree, 
238 ; its Categories are clafled under 
Quantity, Quality, Relation, 
Modality, ib. is the power to form 
Conceptions, 239.
