Kant's philosophy - What is dialectic?
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
Human reason is dialectical according to Kant, i. e. by its very nature it gets tangled up in contradictions and illusionary proofs in a certain field - that is, when it transcends the sensual world and tries to do metaphysics, so when it seeks cognitions of the soul, the world as a whole or God. This dialectic of reason was what first awoke Kant and made him realize the errors of previous metaphysics. To explain and also lift it is his main goal in the Critique of Pure Reason, the rest is in a way just its preparation.
