- W156929549 abstract "KANT'S GOAL IN THE TRANSCENDENTAL DEDUCTION was to demonstrate that the categories are applicable to of sensible intuition. He carried out this task by disclosing the necessity of a transcendental synthesis. In the Transcendental Deduction the second edition of the Critique of Pure Reason (hereafter, the B Deduction) transcendental synthesis has two subspecies: synthesis intellectualis (intellectual synthesis) and synthesis speciosa (figurative synthesis). (1) The distinction between the two types of transcendental synthesis is also mirrored the structure of the proof of the B Deduction. (2) As several commentators have noted, the B Deduction fact contains two parts. (3) Each part seems to provide an account of a distinctive kind of transcendental synthesis. The first part ([subsection] 15-21) provides an account of intellectual synthesis while the second part (24-26) provides an account of figurative synthesis. (4) The importance of figurative synthesis to Kant's theory is widely recognized. Nevertheless, this notion is notoriously obscure. It seems as though Kant's text does not clearly specify why figurative synthesis is required. A preliminary explication of figurative synthesis appears [section] 24. Kant's first step there is to recapitulate the results of the first part of the B Deduction. According to Kant, the synthesis established there is purely intellectual. (5) Intellectual synthesis is a synthesis by means of which the categories are through the mere understanding to of general, without it being determined whether this is our own or some other but still sensible one. (6) Intellectual synthesis apparently contains a gap that concerns the applicability of the categories to of intuition. By means of this synthesis determined object is yet cognized. (7) But the nature of this gap is not clear. This gap seems to be related to a distinction between objects of intuition and objects of general. However, if in general means all, then given that the first part of the B Deduction established the applicability of the categories to of general, it established the applicability of the categories to all of intuition, (8) In this case, why is the second part of the B Deduction indispensable for an account of the applicability of the categories to of intuition? One way out of this difficulty is to claim that in general conveys this context some negative implications that concern the possibility of knowing that the categories are applicable to of sensible intuition. But Kant's text provides no clue as to what these negative implications might be. One might try to point out these negative implications by analyzing the passage that introduces figurative synthesis: But since us a certain form of sensible a priori is fundamental, which rests on the receptivity of the capacity for representation (sensibility), the understanding, as spontaneity, can determine the manifold of given representations accord with the synthetic unity of apperception, and thus think a priori synthetic unity of the apperception of the manifold of sensible intuition, as the condition under which all of our (human) must necessarily stand, through which then the categories, as mere forms of thought, acquire objective reality, i.e., application to that can be given to us intuition, but only as appearances; for of these alone are we capable of a priori. This synthesis of the manifold of sensible intuition, which is possible and necessary a priori, can be called figurative synthesis (synthesis speciosa), as distinct from that which would be thought the mere category regard to the manifold of an general, and which is called combination of the understanding (synthesis intellectualis); both are transcendental, not merely because they themselves proceed a priori but also because they ground the possibility of other cognition a priori. …" @default.
