Synopsis

In Section 20 In The B Edition 'deduction', Kant States That His Purpose Is Achieved: To Show That All Intuitions In General Are Subject To The Categories. The Standard Reading Understands This To Mean That All Our Representational Ideas, Including Those Originating In Sense Experience, Are Structured By Categories: There Are 'no Judgments Of Perception' In The Doctrine Of The 'first Critique', Only Judgments Of Experience. Against This Reading The Book Argues That While All Intuitions For Kant Are Unified Intuitions, Not All Are Unified By The Categories, Thus Allowing For Judgments Of Perception. Thomas C. Vinci. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
