 One of the most famous lines of the first Critique occurs in the second edition’s Preface, where Kant says, “I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith” (Bxxx). Knowledge of the world as a whole, or of entities that transcend this world (the immortal soul or God) is not humanly possible: it is not possible via experience, and reason has no power to supply knowledge in its place. However, as indicated in §1.2, Kant argues that science is entitled to rely on certain principles that regulate its project, without being known as objects. In the final section of the Critique, Kant argues that knowledge is not the only or even the primary end of reason: in its practical use, reason addresses our role within the world. So Kant describes his conception of philosophy as ‘cosmic’ (ein Weltbegriff, literally “world concept”) rather than ‘scholastic’ (A838/B866; cf. Ypi 2013 and Ferrarin 2015).
