This chapter presents a summary of the basic framework in Kant'sCopernican Revolution. Transcendental philosophy has no factual content: it moves among concepts, in logical space, and its task is proving that a number of human beliefs and practices are possible. In order to prove that human knowledge is possible, Kant inverts the usual conceptual dependency of knowledge on objects. The outcome is that objects, including the self, become the imaginary foci of the never-ending process of subjecting experience to conceptual criteria of objectivity.
Keywords: facts, concepts, knowledge, object, self
