(6) The following principle is founded on the same reason.

 This therefore is one reason, why an intention is requisite to excite either love or hatred. In giving a reason, therefore, for the pleasure or uneasiness, we sufficiently explain the vice or virtue. If by the term theology I understand the cognition of a primal being, that cognition is based either upon reason alone (theologia rationalis) or upon revelation (theologia revelata). We shall now proceed to investigate the sources of all these attempts of reason to establish the existence of a Supreme Being. And now we can clearly perceive the result of our transcendental dialectic, and the proper aim of the ideas of pure reason--which become dialectical solely from misunderstanding and inconsiderateness. It is impossible to tell what changes and improvements we might make in these sciences were we thoroughly acquainted with the extent and force of human understanding, and could explain the nature of the ideas we employ, and of the operations we perform in our reasonings. The second part of our transcendental logic must therefore be a critique of dialectical illusion, and this critique we shall term transcendental dialectic-- not meaning it as an art of producing dogmatically such illusion (an art which is unfortunately too current among the practitioners of metaphysical juggling), but as a critique of understanding and reason in regard to their hyperphysical use. But if we are called upon to explain what we mean by substance, and wish to avoid the vice of reasoning in a circle, the answer is by no means so easy. This sentiment, then, as it is entirely unreasonable, must proceed from some other faculty than the understanding.
