Kant part 3 metaphyics

"Metaphysics has to do not only with concepts of nature, which always find their application in experience, but also with pure rational concepts, which never can be given in any possible experience. Consequently the objective reality of these concepts (viz., that they are not mere chimeras), and the truth or falsity of metaphysical assertions, cannot be discovered or confirmed by any experience."

What Kant says here is that any rational idea can never be considered assumed. The objectivity of nature is too great that anything and anything can happen. This also applies to metaphysics, where in the assertions, they also cannot be confirmed in any expierence or be assumed.
