In his CPR, Kant made this bold claim which I agree with;
Completeness in this case refer to Principles not the details.
The above completeness supports Kant's Mission and Vision, i.e.
- Completeness:
In this enquiry I have made Completeness my chief aim, and I venture to assert that there is not a single metaphysical problem which has not been solved, or for the solution of which the key at least has not been supplied.
#Completeness means clearness and sufficiency of characteristics;
thoroughness
In the execution of the plan prescribed by the Critique, that is, in the future System of Metaphysics,
we have therefore to follow the strict method of the celebrated Wolff, the greatest of all the Dogmatic philosophers.
He was the first to show by example (and by his example he awakened that spirit of thoroughness which is not extinct in Germany)
how the secure progress of a Science is to be attained only through orderly establishment of
1. Principles,
2. clear Determination of Concepts,
3. insistence upon strictness of proof, and
4. avoidance of venturesome, non-consecutive steps in our Inferences.
It [Pure Understanding] is a Unity Self-subsistent, Self-sufficient
Pure Understanding distinguishes itself not merely from all that is Empirical but completely also from all Sensibility. B90
It [Pure Understanding] is a Unity Self-subsistent, Self-sufficient, and not to be increased by any additions from without.
The Sum of its Knowledge thus constitutes a System, comprehended and determined by One Idea.
The Completeness and Articulation of this System can at the same time yield a criterion of the correctness and genuineness of all its components.
This part of Transcendental Logic requires, however, for its complete exposition, two books,
1. the one containing the Concepts,
2. the other the Principles of Pure Understanding.
1. What is there to know? - epistemology
2. What can I do? - morality
3. What can humanity hope for? Perpetual Peace?
The above completeness enable one to have a 'helicopter view' of the whole philosophical issues faced by mankind; thus I can see where and how you are entangled with a dogmatic view and not being able to get out of its tall dark silo.
