The Trascendental Doctrine of Elements

Second Part

The Transcendental Logic

On logic in general

Cognition arises from the receptivity of impressions and the spontaneity of concepts. 1) Object is
given to us and latter it is thought. Together yoeld cpgmotopm- They can be empirical and pure
when there is not sensation. Pure concept- form of thnking an object in genera- Pure ( a priori)

The wo faculties (affected) sensibility and bringing forth (spontanenity)- understanding

Logic science of the rules of understanding in generl

Logic- general (elementary) or particular (organon of a science=

Logic- pure or applied Pure logic science- form of thinking and a priori

Not every a priori cognition in transcendental. It is trascedental only when we look for the
possibility of cognition- Differece is with regard to the critique of cognitions

Science of pure undertaing- concepts that may be related to obects a priori. That sciece which
determine the origin, the domain. And the objective validey of such cognitions- transcendental
logic-

Division between analytic and dialectic

The antique question what is truth-

Nominal definition as the agrrement between the cognition and its object

But we ask about a criterion- in the case of the content no logic can be a touchstone, only the
mere form of cognition (formal laws of understanding) - Negative condiions, condition sine qua
non

Assessment of cognition by principles of understanding- analytic (canon)- It has been used as a


organo- dialectic logic of illusion- it doesnt teach us anything about the content Kant will use
dialectic as a critique of the dialectic illusion

The rt of the transcendental logic- pure elements of pure cognition of the understanding and the
principles without wich any object can be thought at all- trascendenat logic

If it is misued as an organm- critique of dialectic illusion- transcendental dialectic groundless

Transcndental Analytic

Analytic is analysis of our pure cognition- of understanding- concepts- pure, not to intuition, not
derived, complete table Idea of whole- connection with the system two parts- concepts and
principles
The Analytic of concepts-analalyssis of the faculy of understanding- possibility of a priori concepts

On the clue of discvery all the pure concepts of understanding

To seek its concepts in accordance of a principle- absolute unity

Understanding through is not intuitive but discursive- rest on functions- (See a concept as a
function) Ordering different representions under one- The concepts are used by means of
judgement-in which is related to other concept- Judgement the mediate representation of a
object- the representatyoion of another representation Faculty of judging

Concept- some represenations are contained under it- Predicates of possible judgements- The
fnunctions of objects can be seen in the function of of unity of judgements

On the logical function of the understanding in judgements

Four titles and three moments- Quantity, Quality, Relation and Modality

Singular and negative judgements are added because theyre related to cognition. In disjunctive
judgement- community of cognitions

Modality- value of copula with respect to he copula

Possible, assertoric, and apodictic

On the pure concepts of understanding

Synthesis- Only the spontaneity of our thought requires that this manifold first foe through, taken
upo, and combined in a certain way, in order for a cognition to be made out ( B103- Kontrollieren)

Comprehdening the manfioldness in one cognition- Synthesis- imagination- (blind process)

Bring the synthesis to concepts- function of punderstanding

Pure synthesis wich rests on a ground for synthetic unity a prior- Counting case (strange case)

Bring under concepts the pure synthesis of representations-Manifold of ure intuition, synthesis of
the manifold- imagination concepts- synthetic unity necessary synthetic unty

The same function uity reprsenations in judgments and unity of there mere sytheis of different
represenatations in one intuiton

Objects a prirori- brings a trascendenatl content into its represenations

Categories are these concepts .- understand something in the manifold of intuition. Division
comes from the faculty of judging

There can be derivate concepts from theses which would be called predicables

Confidence on the plas a s whole with the categories and the moments

Divisions- objects of intuition (mathematicsaL) and existence of objects /dynamical). The third
category is a comibination of the prievous two. Special act of understanding
The rest:

Kant discusses about the quodlibet ens est unum, verum, bonoum/ transcendental predicates of
0things. Its ground is in the categories of quantity
