Knowledge had to be annulled to make room for faith

The passage

I had to annul knowledge in order to make room for faith.

B xxx: "Ich mußte also das Wissen aufheben, um zum Glauben Platz zu bekommen" (AA 3:19.05–06). The "also" draws it from the preceding sentence: if God, freedom and immortality cannot be assumed for practical use while speculative reason keeps its pretension to insight beyond experience (3:18.33–37), and that practical use is necessary ("des nothwendigen praktischen Gebrauchs", 3:18.34–35), then the pretension must go; the map reads "das Wissen" (3:19.06) as naming that pretension (3:18.36). The word rendered "annul", aufheben, is noted on the passage.
