I have myself given this my theory the name of transcendental idealism, but that cannot authorise any one to confound it either with the empirical idealism of Descartes, (indeed, his was only an insoluble problem, owing to which he thought every one at liberty to deny the existence of the corporeal world, because it could never be proved satisfactorily), or with the mystical and visionary idealism of Berkeley, against which and other similar phantasms our Critique contains the proper antidote.
Ba nire teoria honi neronek ere idealismo transzendentalaren izena eman diodalako, horrek ez dio inori eskubiderik ematen, hau nahasteko, ez Descartesen idealismo enpirikoarekin (nahiz eta hau arazo bat soilik izan, eta honek, Descartesen ustez, soluziorik ez duelako, libre izan edozeinentzat mundu korporalaren existentzia ukatzea, honi behar bezala erantzuteko modurik ez dagoelako), edo Berkeleyren idealismo mistiko eta bisionarioarekin (honen eta antzeko kaskoberokerien kontra benetako erremedioa baitauka gure kritikak).
