 Although this general charge is certainly a significant part of Kant’s complaint, the story does not stop there. In turning to the specific disciplines of special metaphysics (those concerning the soul, the world, and God), Kant devotes a considerable amount of time discussing the human interests that nevertheless pull us into the thorny questions and controversies that characterize special metaphysics. These interests are of two types, and include theoretical goals of achieving completeness and systematic unity of knowledge, and practical interests in securing the immortality of the soul, freedom, and the existence of God. Despite their contributions to metaphysical illusion, Kant tells us that the goals and interests in question are unavoidable, inevitable, and inherent in the very nature of human reason. In the Introduction to the Transcendental Dialectic Kant thus introduces “reason” as the locus of these metaphysical interests.
