Kant claimed that this problem could be solved with his "transcendental logic" which unlike normal logic is not just an instrument, which can be used indifferently, as it was for Aristotle, but a theoretical science in its own right and the basis of all the others.
Kant hævdede at dette problem kunne løses med hans "transcendentale logik", som i modsætning til almindelig logik ikke kun er et redskab, der kan bruges i flæng (som den var for Aristoteles), men derimod en teoretisk videnskab i sin egen ret, og grundlaget for alle de andre.
