Kant's philosophy - The table of judgments fully explained
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
For Kant all thinking is judging and therefore an act of connecting and relating of representations. Our judging however happens in twelve different ways, which can be shown in a table of all judgments, which Kant gives in his Critique of Pure Reason and in his lectures. This table of judgments is of an importance for Kant which can't be overstated, for it shows all possible acts of our thinking in regards to its form, therefore all possible thoughts can be ordered, understood and even deduced from this table. It is the fundament of the architectonic of Kant's system, and whoever wants to understand Kant systematically must understand this table. Here it gets explained, as well as each of the twelve judgments listed in it. Quote: 0:08 The significance of the table of judgments: 1:11 The table of judgments: 5:09 I) Mathematical judgments: 11:13 1) Quantity: 12:53 2) Quality: 23:11 II) Dynamical judgments: 49:57 3) Relation: 51:00 4) Modality: 1:09:53 Every judgment is determined according to all four titles: 1:30:04 There are only these twelve forms of judgments: 1:33:03 The basic principles of logic spring from the functions of judgments: 1:42:42 Thanks: 2:01:18 The table of judgments according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/table-of-judgments-according-to-Kant.jpg The table of judgments Kant introduces in § 9. of the Critique of Pure Reason: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm He isn't very detailed there however. If one wants to learn more about the specific functions of judgments, one should therefore study Kant's lectures on logic: https://www.archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma | https://www.archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma Or his handwritten estate on logic: http://korpora.org/kant/aa16/ (I could not find free translations for either online.)
