“One of the best objections one could raise against transcendence idealism is as follows: ‘If nature is your own product, then how is it that you are nevertheless able to learn things from nature? If nature is your own product, then how is any research into nature possible? How could you perform any experiments? You must already be acquainted with nature. Therefore, despite what you claim, nature must also contain for you something more, something you did not expect to find. But this is the characteristic feature of ((posited being)). Consequently, you cannot have produced nature.’

Answer: Here we do no more than learn about ourselves and employ our faculty of judgment to analyze what is posited by the imagination. Nature in its entirety is a product of the imagination.”
