The "Dreams of a Spirit-Seer" (1766) belongs to Kant's pre-critical work. It was a humorous critique aimed chiefly at the philosophers of his day, using Swedenborg as a convenient mark for his blows. Metaphysical contentions are groundless, since metaphysical concepts such as spirit cannot be characterized in positive terms. To survive, metaphysics must become a science of the limits of human knowledge.
