engage with Kant's table of judgements

[chadwhitacre]

But why our understanding has this peculiarity, that it a priori brings about unity of apperception only by means of the categories, and only by just this kind and number of them—for this no further reason can be given, just as no reason can be given as to why we have just these and no other functions in judging, or why time and space are the only forms of our possible intuition.

Tyke has in the past pointed to:

• Longuenesse's Kant and the Capacity to Judge
• Brandt's The Table of Judgments
• one other, iirc, which I don't remember

"Longuenesse vs. Allison on Kant's Categories"

In 1998, Beatrice Longuenesse published her classic Kant and the Capacity to Judge. She attempts to defend Kant's deduction of the categories by following his "guiding thread" of the logical forms of judgment through the Critique of Pure Reason.

In 2000, Henry Allison published an article entitled Where Have All the Categories Gone? in which he critiques Longuenesse's interpretation. Allison argues that by placing so much emphasis on the logical forms of judgment, Longuenesse overly diminishes the role of the categories themselves.

In 2005, Longuenesse published Kant and the Human Condition. In this book she defends her interpretation against Allison and others who mounted various criticisms of her reading of the Critique of Pure Reason.
