Abstract

 

This paper considers the transcendental deduction of the categories from a specific point of view: the First Section of the Deduction of the Pure Concepts of the Understanding. In this passage, Kant not only explores the task and the method of the transcendental deduction, in form of the principle of the transcendental deduction, but also implements it. The subsequent section(s) of the deduction proceed(s) to build on the argument, and do(es) so in different ways in the A- and the B-deduction. Accordingly, the principle of the transcendental deduction has a crucial function for the entire deduction because it builds a transition between the first and the following section(s) in which Kant constantly refers to it.
