The article explores how Kant believed our minds are naturally inclined to think in ways that are misleading. This idea of 'transcendental illusion' is crucial in understanding Kant's views on metaphysics and science. By taking this concept seriously, we can better grasp Kant's arguments and the role of human reason in scientific inquiry.
