The idea of conscious creation as a source of scientific progress
Immanuel Kant's theory of the transcendental ideas of pure reason, which has become classical, is well known. These are ideas of what is beyond possible experience. Despite this, says Kant, only the incorrect application of these ideas can lead to an attempt to go beyond experience and philosophize about "empty entities generated by the developing mind." The philosopher writes that the ideas of pure reason can carry meaningful meaning and value to the knowledge of nature as a system-forming factor. Kant writes in detail how to apply the ideas of what is beyond experience, so that it expands the empirical knowledge of nature. This paper briefly highlights the basis of Kant's theory of the regulatory application of transcendental ideas. This paper substantiates the practical value of the ideas of pure reason by citing specific examples from the field of physical and mathematical sciences.
