284-302 summary.
Kant explains space & time as pure forms shaping experience but not things themselves. He introduces transcendental dialectic, showing how reason misleads when it comes to ideas like soul, world, & god, that go beyond our experience. These illusions arise when reason ignores limits, recognizing this avoids error.

251–284:
Says our mind shapes experience with tools like space, time, and cause-effect, but using them beyond experience (ex explain soul)causes confusion. Like wearing reading glasses and thinking the world is blurry when you take them off, when in fact it was just the lens.
Chapter summary pg 93-284:
We can only know things as they appear through our mind’s lens, not as they are in themselves.

Kant says our basic concepts (like cause and effect) only make sense when tied to real experiences in space and time. You can’t understand “change” just by thinking, you need to see something move. Like knowing what “falling” means not from a definition, but from watching an apple drop.
