Kant: From general to transcendental logic

This chapter identifies Kant's targets and discusses Kant's distinctive conception of reason and reasoning. Because this way of thinking is not shared by analytic philosophers, there has been some reluctance to recognize any of what Kant called transcendental logic as properly part of logic. The chapter discusses the move from general to transcendental logic and the relationships between judgment, object, concept, form of judgment and category. It also discusses themes from the transcendental dialectic that reveal Kant's focus on the structure of systems and arguably constitute a move into what would now be called metatheory. The chapter discusses the theme of concept and object and the inevitable incompleteness of any formal (general) logic.
