In this talk I articulate Transcendental Idealism (TI) purely as a position in metaphysics. I argue that it is superior, in numerous respects, to its contemporary rivals (e.g. deflationism, inflationary realism, physicalism, etc.). I show that various objections that have been raised against TI over the centuries are either based on misunderstandings, or can be answered. While work remains to be done, TI deserves to be one of the main contenders in contemporary metaphysics.
