A Commentary on Kant's Critick of the Pure Reason, Tr. from the History of Modern Philosophy, with Explanatory Notes by J.P. Mahaffy (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ... connecting of two judgments so as to obtain a third from them by necessary consequence, syllogisms of the Reason, as contrasted with syllogisms of the understanding, which draw one judgment from another immediately (without intervention of a third judgment). This is not the place to criticize the correctness of these terms.

Waiving this point, it is plain that the way which leads to On this question, cf. Introduction. the limits of experience is described by the human reason in the form of syllogisms. This sort of argument may proceed in two ways: either from the most universal propositions through the descending series of intermediate members down to the conditioned judgment; or it may ascend in the reverse way. In the first case it descends from the rule through the minor premises to the conclusions; in the second, it ascends from the conclusions to the rules. The first process is the progressive, or episyllogistic; the second, the regressive, or prosyllogistic. It is by the latter that we approach the bounds of experience. III. The Thing Per Se As The Unconditioned, Or Idea. 1. Rule and Principle.--The Rule, which is the foundation of a judgment, is always an universal proposition; compared with the conditioned judgment, it is its fundamental principle. We may say, then, that the conclusions of the Reason seek principles for the given judgments. But every rule which we find is itself, again, a conditioned judgment, which requires another rule or...
