Transzendentale Schein

  The fact that from the subjective necessity of a certain connection of our concepts we infer an objective necessity of such connection is what Kant calls the transcendental Illusion. From the way we connect things, we deduce how things are in themselves. Traditional myths are good examples of this. Where Kant says transzendentale we could say biological, or neurophysiological.

  The fascinating thing about this illusion is that even when you know it you cannot avoid it, for how could we think outside of our biological conditioning? More than a final limit for our knowledge, the transcendental illusion implies the end of the unquestionable character of the myths of the universal law. Contemporary science ignores this limit to the cognitive universality of our theories.
