I.e., the question then is whether speculative reason, which knows nothing of all that which practical reason offers to it as something to assume, must adm these propositions and, although they are extravaga for it, seek to reconci them with its concepts, as a foreign possession transferred to it; or whether speculative reason is entitled to follow obstinately its own separate interest and, in accordance with the canon of Epicurus, reject as empty subtle reasoni everything that cannot authenticate its objective reality by obvious examples to be adduced in experience, however much it were interwoven with the interest of the practical (pure) use of reason, and were also not in itself contradictory to theoretical reason, merely because it actually impairs the interest of speculati reason insofar as it annuls the bounds that the latter has set itself and surrenders it to every nonsense or madne of the imagination.
