The second part discusses the method of judging things according to their purpose or telos.

About Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher from Königsberg, researching, lecturing and writing on philosophy and anthropology during and at the end of the 18th Century Enlightenment. At the time, there were major successes and advances in physical science using reason and logic. But this stood in sharp contrast to the scepticism and lack of agreement or progress in empiricist philosophy.
