The history of the subject

Søren Gosvig Olesen

pp. 88-99

Kant's Critique of Pure Reason closes with a chapter on "the History of Pure Reason," Die Geschichte der reinen Vernunft.1 This is a very short text, four pages in all, which is introduced with the following words: "This title stands here only in order to indicate one remaining division of the system, which must be completed in the future."2 Here we find, at the very least, the announcement of a connection between reason and history. To specify this connection completely, however, is a task that Kant bequeaths to posterity.
