| Book 1.  Principles of Metaphysical Investigation
|
| Chapter 1.  Man the Measure of Things
|
| In the Introduction we have considered the
| Nature of Metaphysics, and have rejected
| certain false notions of its proceedure.
|
| In our investigations, metaphysics is to
| be taken as the analysis of Conceptions.
|
| We need not ask the critical question;  but still there is a question
| of uncritical transcendentalism with which every method of philosophy
| must open.  It is, How should the conceptions which spring up freely
| in our minds by virtue of the constitution thereof be true for the
| outward world?
|
| In this question we detect three leading conceptions:
| 'Truth', 'the Innateness of Ideas', 'Externality'.
| Let us analyze each of these.
