Text Appearing Before Image: and with vexation the thorny way I have led him in the* Critique* will ask me on w^hat I ground this hope. I answer.On the irresistible law of necessity. That the spirit of man will ever wholly give up metaphysicalinvestigations, is just as little to be expected as that in order 8496 IMMANUEL KANT not always to be breathing bad air we should stop breathingaltogether. Metaphysics will always exist in the world, then;and what is more, exist with every one, but more especially withreflecting men, who in default of a public standard will eachfashion it in his own way. Now, what has hitherto been termedmetaphysics can satisfy no acute mind; btit to renounce it entirelyis impossible: hence a critique of the pure reason itself must beat last attempted, and when obtained must be investigated andsubjected to a imiversal test; because otherwise there are nomeans of relieving this pressing requirement, which means some-thing more than mere thirst for knowledge.
