Kants primary aim is to determine the limits and scope of pure reason. That is, he wants to know what reason alone can determine without the help of the senses or any other faculties. Metaphysicians make grand claims about the nature of reality based on pure reason alone, but these claims often conflict with one another. Furthermore, Kant is prompted by Humes skepticism to doubt the very possibility of metaphysics.
Critique of Pure Reason: This analysis is regarding reasoning which is used to find solutions to questions, in this analysis Kant questions reasoning? Kants ethics is deontological, an ethics of duty-defines moral duty to which we are obligated simply because it is right, and hypothetical imperatives, which on the other hand are teleological: we perform certain actions in order to attain certain ends.

3. Aurobindo ghose: Man is a transitional being. He is not final. The step from man to superman is the next approaching achievement in the earth evolution. It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner spirit and the logic of nature's process two central movements in the process of creation: an involution of consciousness from an original omnipresent Reality, manifesting a universe of forms, including matter; and an evolution of those material forms in creation upward toward life, mind, and spirit, reconnecting to their spiritual source
