Problem before "Critique of Pure Reason"

Schopenhauer criticizes Kant, by saying that Kant does not explain why the source of metaphysics should not be experience. Indeed, the phenomenal world that Kant describes is the world after transcendental objects have been "given," and Kant merely says that the objects given there are temporal, spatial, and intellectual (causal) as the result of affection.

But what on earth can be given? What qualifies as a phenomenon cannot be known from the discussion after the transcendental object has become a phenomenon.

Therefore, the question of whether experience can have a metaphysical origin, in other words, whether we can find the possibility of Christian revelation in our experience, must be considered as a question that must be answered at least before the discussion of the "Critique of Pure Reason" begins.
