Now I assert that among all speculative cognition, transcendental philosophy has the special property that there is no question at all dealing with an object given by pure reason that is insoluble by this very same human reason; and that no plea of unavoidable ignorance and the unfathomable depth of the problem can release us from the obligation of answering it thoroughlyr and completely; for the very same concept that puts us in a position to ask the question must also make us compe tent to answer it, since the object is not encountered at all outside the concept (as it is in the case of justice and injustice).
