did Kant reason in a fictional way concerning reality.fiction without meaning ends up meaningless.how ever every fact is meaning .so if you reason on meaning you end up with factual meaning.so reason with meaning equals fact.time is fictional fact reasoning takes time so reason comes from a fictional mind.

What would you call non-fictional reasoning?

Non fictional reasoning would be reasoning with meaning.because meaning is the real fact.ethics are factual reasoning .reasoning without ethics is piontless.ethics are fact in fiction.realative to the ethics in an event all else including time is fiction.

The term "facts" in philosophy is usually associated with empiricism, or cause and effect. The observable world would be another way of saying it I guess. Kant was a rationalist philosopher and he was greatly impressed by the empiricism of the age. Today were are probably more impressed with the achievements of science.

Factual reasoning is taken to mean reasoning in relation to cause and effect. Kant was also interested in a different type of reasoning so he wanted to know how or if it was possible to unite empiricism with rationalism. Time and space are a product of the human mind in as much as they are concepts we impose upon the physical world when we observe events. In other words, time and space are the 'glasses' we are forced to wear. We cannot remove the glasses in order to get a better look at 'reality'

Ok ginkgo.thanks for that about kant.i think those german pholosiphers are in general seeing things the same way.we can treat them as a package.ethics are to me the core of nature reveald by man.they are gods image in man and come from awareness .our true nature is awareness beond the event which is ethical.
