Quantity in Kant's general and pure logic

Clayton Bohnet

pp. 57-93

This chapter seeks to develop further our interpretation of Immanuel Kant's treatment of cognition in general and pure logic by focusing on a particular moment of his theory — quantity. This is done to prepare for a comparison of the way in which cognition is treated in logic with the way in which it is treated in the transcendental logic of the first Critique. This chapter is divided into an introduction and three main sections. The first main section looks at quantity with regard to concepts, the second with regard to judgments, and the third with regard to inferences. Although the Jäsche Logic will be the primary text of analysis, consistent reference will be made to the existing lecture notes taken by Kant's students.
