To understand all the richness of the a priori synthesis is to pay honour to the genius of Emmanuel Kant; but it is also to recognize that the systematic construction of Kant showed itself altogether unequal to the great principle he laid down, but whose value he insufficiently estimated.

LOGIC AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE CATEGORIES
The demand for a complete table of the categories.
When the definition of the a priori synthesis and of the category has been attained, it is usual to demand of logical Science (and this will be demanded also of our exposition) that it should say how many and of what sort are the categories, how they are connected among themselves, i.e. that it should draw up a table of them.
A request extraneous to Logic. Logical and real categories.
