Kant's Transcendental Deduction: Categories
Yilin Zhang
First Question
The transcendental deduction is about priori concepts, categories. The aim of it is to demonstrate that we have a priori notions or categories that are objectively valid, along with applying necessarily to all things in the world that we experience under space and time. To achieve it, Kant brings up the argument that the categories are necessary conditions of experience, or that failing to have the condition of categories leads no experience at all. He debates on that the categories are necessary specifically for self-consciousness. Kant thinks that nature itself is law-governed and its regularities provides us the background for us self-conscious are not valid. He notes that it’s us who achieve the formal structure of our own experience …show more content…
(Accessing Kant, page78) Kant thinks space and time are transcendentally ideal that they are forms of intuition that they are gained on human’s direct access of their mind. He states that space is outer sense and time is inner sense, which the former is the form of some intuition and time is form of all intuition.
Kant states that everything in time and space and time is appearance, which is empirical object, and is given to us in sensation. In details, it is appearance instead of things-in-themselves cause inner state, perceptions and sensations. For instance, we take the experience of things as the understanding and concept of objects. That thing-in-itself is not spatial or temporal and is out of our limit to reach or even to understand. Kant denies on the claim of absolute time that it would attach to things absolutely as a condition even without regard to the form of our sensible intuition, under which things are in themselves. On contrast, he states again that thing-in-itself is not able to be experienced at all in all sense under time and
