Summary/Abstract: The peak transcendental philosophy manages to reach is to provide solution to the question how nature is possible at all. This is the task metaphysics of nature, as one metaphysical Science on speculative usage of pure reason which encompasses ali the a priori principles ol' pure reason based on simple notions of specukative knowledge of ali things, has to solve. Yet, its final resull depieted in preliminary metaphysical grounds of natural Science, is in fact that empty, and, there- fore, incomprehensible. This is the tate of ali the other mind’s endeavours to reach the first causes of ali things by returning to the principles. What else than remains to the mind than to turn to itself in order to. instead of the first principles of things, explore and determine the final frontiers of its power of knowledge.
