The paper forms one chapter of the upcoming book to be titled The Rise and History of Transcendental Illusion. The book project relies on the terminology of critical transcendental philosophy in order to analyse and criticise the process of how synthetic principles function in the constitution of actual reality. The article aims at studying the relation of history and synthetic principles in particular: how in certain historical periods certain synthetic principles dominate the constitution of reality. The core question is how cyclic, linear, or contingent philosophies of history come into being in certain periods of socio-cultural development.
