Kant's "Introduction" of Critique of Pure Reason and questions 5 and 6 of Saint Thomas Aquinas's Commentary on Boethius Book De Trinitate, both of them represent a prelude to the nature of science and metaphysics. Nevertheless, Aquinas does not conceive a rationalist metaphysics, rightly criticized by Kant, but a knowledge that continues the physical, and not the mathematical, thinking. This different modus sciendi of metaphysics and mathematics, shows the limited scope of kantian's metaphysical criticism of philosophia perennis.
