Kant's philosophy - The result of the Critique of Pure reason: The regulative function of reason

In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant asks the question what pure, i. e. free from any experience, reason can do. He shows: It is not constitutive for our cognition. That means: It cannot bring forth its own cognitions or open for us a new realm of cognition. When it tries to grasp the supersensual, when in pure metaphysics it asks about the immortality of the soul, about freedom, about God, then it becomes dialectical, i. e. it only creates illusions. Only the intellect is constitutive for our cognition, not for the cognition of the supersensual, but for the cognition of the sensual, for its elementary concepts, the twelve categories, are conditions of the possibility of experience, all of nature must function according to them. Reason and its ideas aren't useless or chimerical because of that however, they according to Kant have a regulative function: They serve as a touchstone for that which is and also as an example for the creation of something new. The principles of reason may not tell us, how the world of experience is made up, but they guide is in finding it out and grasping that world.
