Mon intention est de convaincre tous ceux qui jugent bon de s'occuper de metaphysique qu'il est absolument necessaire qu'ils interrompent provisoirement leur travail, qu'ils considerent tout ce qui s'est fait a ce jour comme non avenu et qu'avant tout ils commencent par soulever la question de savoir si decidement une chose telle que la metaphysique est seulement possible. Si c'est une science, d'ou vient qu'elle ne peut s'accrediter de maniere universelle et durable, comme les autres sciences? Si ce n'en est pas une, comment se fait-il qu'elle ne cesse de tout faire pour avoir l'air d'une science? Donc, que ce soit pour demontrer qu'elle sait ou qu'elle ne sait pas, il faut une bonne fois etablir quelque chose de certain.
