Abstract

Modern critical philosophy originated in the "Cartesian doubt", known in Kant's transcendental philosophy. Cartesian skepticism from the staff has come to a complete theory shows that the conclusion, but Kant never so completely agnostic skepticism staff has come to the conclusion. Kant does not ask "with the objective necessity of empirical knowledge possible?", But only asked, "with the objective necessity of empirical knowledge possible?." Descartes was primarily concerned with the former issue, for which he is to find an Archimedean point of philosophy is, "I think therefore I am." In fact, Kant to the previous question can not be avoided, for which he later admitted, "How could a priori apperception" can not answer the question. Cartesian theory of defects pointed out by Kant, that make sense in some respects beyond the limits of errors committed transcendent. I believe that, if the Kantian a priori category system established with the Cartesian combination Archimedean point, it would be expected to become a more complete metaphysical system
