In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant criticizes Baumgarten´s definition of Metaphysics as the science of the first principles of human knowledge (Metaphysica § 1). He maintains that this definition doesn´t consider the distinction between sensible and pure knowledge. Instead of this definition Kant provides a new one in the first Critique: Metaphysics is the system of pure Reason (A 841 / B 869). This Definition is first anticipated eleven years before in the Inaugural Dissertation, where Metaphysics is defined as pure Philosophy (MSI AA 2: 411). Kant presents this Dissertation as a proof of the propaedeutic which must precede Metaphysics and so anticipates the idea that will be fully accomplished with the Critique of Pure Reason. In this paper I will argue that the new definition of Metaphysics in the Inaugural Dissertation must be seen as the very important result of this text as a propaedeutic to Metaphysics and as a specific step in the development of the Critique of Pure Reason.
