Kant's own critical philosophy establishes that the unconditioned cannot be an object of determinate cognition, making Krug's demand for empirical deduction self-undermining on Kantian terms.

Critical philosophy(Windelband's conception): The science of necessary and universal values that explicates the system of absolute values and reveals the grounds of normative appraisal and valid judgment.
Determinate cognition(the type of knowledge Kant says we cannot have of the unconditioned): Clear, definite knowledge or understanding of something—knowledge precise enough that we can say exactly what we know about it.
Empirical deduction(what Krug demanded of Kant): An attempt to prove or justify something by pointing to actual, observable examples from real experience rather than pure reasoning.
Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
