Solovyov's Critique in nunce

Rationalism

1. Major of Dogmatism (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Wolff):
         True being is cognated through a priori cognition.
2. Minor of Kant:
         In the latter however, are cognated only the forms of human thinking.
3. Conclusio of Hegel:
        Ergo, the forms of human thinking are the true being.

 Empiricism

1. Major of Bacon:
         True being is cognated in man's actual (sensory) experience.
2. Minor of Locke and other empiricists:
         In experience, however, are cognated only the experiences of human consciousness
3. Conclusio of Mill:
         Ergo, the states of human consciousness are the true being.
