Document Summary

One of the most controversial subjects in studies of kant. He is not giving us a metaphysics of experience or a theory of knowledge, his principle interest is whether or not metaphysics is possible as a science. That is why he asks about intuition and understanding. He approaches the question by saying it is possible as a science only if objects must conform a priori (universally and necessarily) to our mode of cognition. : they will be related to one another in terms of spatiotemporal location. this is because space and time are the condition of them being given to us in the rst place. Aristotle meant by judgement combining concepts, a matter of predication, a matter of saying something about something: s is p. Kant means by judgement is how is it that the object as an object can be given to us in space and time but given to us objectively.
