An Interpretation of Kant’s Metaphysical Deduction of the Categories Es

In what appears to be an important section of the Critique of unclouded Reason, when Kant attempts to show the natural connection between the accede of psyche and the table of categories, there is a cryptic little paragraphThe same knead that gives sensation to the different representations in a judgment also gives unity to the mere synthesis of different representations in an intuition, which, expressed generally, is called the pure excogitation of understanding. The same understanding, therefore, and indeed by means of the very same actions through which it brings the logical systemal form of a judgment into concepts by means of the uninflected unity, also brings a transcendental content into its representations by means of the semisynthetic unity of the manifold in intuition in general, on sexual conquest of which they are called pure concepts of the understanding that pertain to objects a priori this tail end neer be accomplished by universal logic. A79, B105This para graph is purported to be the practical key to understanding the argument for the deduction of the categories, and is often referred to as the metaphysical deduction of the categories. Kant will attempt to use the forms of logical judgment to extrapolate the forms of cognitions in general. The passage contains two convicts, alone is nearly unapproachable, even at the level of individual clauses. However, it contains an important step in the argument of the critique, one(a) that not only allows Kant to move between the table of judgments and the table of categories, but also that indicates the transcendental role of the understanding the way in which keen conditions operate to allow the possibility of experience, made manifest by an testing of logic.Points of InterpretationThe pu... ...lieve that the first sentence contains premises that imply a end point contained in the second sentence. Indeed they are premises about what is know about the understanding a priori, and lead to a conclusion that is not surprising, once the premises are properly understood.3 I can see why someone might see the first sentence as containing the conclusion of the argument, but they could only be so incite if they read the pure concept of understanding as the categories in general, but they would expect to be committed to saying that the categories operate in general logic as the analytic unity, which, from my point of view, does not seem like the near reading.4 The knowledge element of experience is given in judgment form, but I am not sure if Kant wants to admit non-knowledge elements into experience, passions, etc...
