System of Transcendental Idealism

...to bear in mind that the entire inquiry, which is infinite when viewed on its own, is conducted here only in relation to the system of philosophy. Because of this specific focus, many aspects of this vast subject necessarily had to be excluded from consideration from the outset.

Finally, the author notes that a secondary goal was to provide a presentation of transcendental idealism; the philosophical theory that our experience of things is shaped by the necessary structures of our own minds (tranſscendentalen Idealismus) that is as generally readable and understandable as possible. He believes that the method he has chosen may have allowed him to succeed in this to some degree, a conviction reinforced by two-fold experience during his public lectures on the system.

This brief preface, however, will be sufficient for those who share the author’s perspective and are engaged in the resolution of the same tasks... The sentence continues onto the next page, likely discussing the shared goals of the philosophical community.
