Reason is not an arbitrary classification of things (as the nominalists believe), but a formula that describes the necessary and universal relations of the objective world.—For a critical exposition of the problem see the translator's books on Kant: The Surd of Metaphysics and Kant's Prolegomena in which the question "Are there things in themselves?" is answered in the negative, but the existence of forms in themselves is insisted upon. See also the chapters on the "A Priori and the Formal" in his Primer of Philosophy; "The Origin of the A Priori" in his Fundamental Problems; and "The Origin of Mind" in The Soul of Man.
