11. Knowledge Aims / A. Knowledge / 1. Knowledge

21957	'Transcendental' concerns how we know, rather than what we know [Kant]
	Full Idea: The word 'transcendental' signifies not a relation of our cognition to things, but only to the faculty of cognition.
	From: Immanuel Kant (Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysic [1781], 4:293), quoted by A.W. Moore - The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics 5.4
	A reaction: This is the annoying abduction of a word which is very useful in metaphysical contexts.
