For these reasons we have chosen to denominate this part of logic dialectic, in the sense of a critique of dialectical illusion, and we wish the term to be so understood in this place.

 Reason avails itself of the conception of the understanding for the sole purpose of producing totality in the different series.  Next to the ridicule of denying an evident truth, is that of taking much pains to defend it; and no truth appears to me more evident, than that beasts are endowd with thought and reason as well as men. Thus the antinomy of pure reason in its cosmological ideas disappears. As the explication of this will lead me into a considerable compass of very profound reasoning; I think it proper, in order to avoid confusion, to give a short sketch or abridgment of my system, and afterwards draw out all its parts in their full compass. The metaphysic of speculative reason is what is commonly called metaphysic in the more limited sense.
