Abstract

In Kant's view the pure ideas of reason possesses two different functions. One of them is the impropet function of ideas that Kant calls it transcendent function when we consider an external extension for our ideas in the case of which ideas plays a regulative role. The other function is that of the proper one that Kant calls it the immanent function of ideas when ideas merely is directed towards the pure concepts of understanding and their functions in which case the role of ideas would be regulative; namely to explain the unity and consistency of knowledge stemmed from understanding. This article is an attempt to make a critical study of Kant's view concerning the role of ideas and pure principles of reason.
