ABSTRACT
CAUSE', the insatiable why of human curiosity and interest, is naturally the storm centre of philosophy. The curiosity deepens as the culture advances. Philosophy, or explanation, must begin with the recognition of some existence, and can succeed only as the science of that science itself. 'The Critique of Pure Reason', in its scientific and only valuable content, was an inconsequent diversion, in academic rivalry with its predecessors, charging them with a haphazard procedure, instead of following the 'sure method of a science'. This sure method of science Kant borrowed from Aristotle, who held Nature as the graduation of matter up to form, of being up to thought. Kant says: 'Our reason has this peculiar fate, that with reference to one class of our knowledge it is always troubled with questions which cannot be ignored and which cannot be answered because they transcend the powers of human reason'.
