Like the Critique as a whole, transcendental psychology offers both positive and negative doctrines. To this point, I have considered only the positive results of Kant ‘s explorations of cognition. He also drew important negative conclusions about what philosophy could not tell us about t e mind in the “Paralogisms of Pure Reason.” The Paralogisms chapter is standardly regarded as an extremely successful critique of Kant ‘s predecessors ‘ pretensions to pneumatology. Robert J. Richards ‘s summation is typical: [Kant ‘s) incisive exposition of the paralogisms of rational psychology the uncritical, a priori deductions asserting the ego to be a substance, a simple entity, an enduring personality, and related in specific ways to the external world-slashed the roots of Wolffian rational psychology and withered its derivative claims about the soul ‘s immateriality, spirituality, and immortality. ‘
