I raise three questions relevant to De Boer’s overall project in Kant’s Reform of Metaphysics. The first is whether Kant’s 1799 open letter to Fichte supports or threatens her contention that Kant had an abiding interest in developing a reformed metaphysics from 1781 onwards. The second is whether De Boer’s conception of the pure intellect and its place in Kant’s projected system of metaphysics captures the role of pure sensibility in the Analytic of Principles, rational physics and rational psychology. The third is whether one might accept the outline of this system as De Boer develops it while still holding that it is more accurate to characterize it as revolution rather than reform.

我提出三个与德波尔在康德的形而上学改革中的整体项目相关的问题。首先是康德 1799 年给费希特的公开信是支持还是威胁她的论点，即康德从 1781 年起就一直致力于发展改革的形而上学。第二个是德波尔的纯粹理智概念及其在康德的形而上学计划体系中的位置是否抓住了纯粹感性在原理分析、理性物理学和理性心理学中的作用。第三，人们是否会接受德波尔发展该体系的轮廓，同时仍然认为将其描述为革命而不是改革更为准确。
