Kant's Theory of Knowledge

by H. A. Prichard

FOOTNOTES

[1] Difficulties connected with Kant's view of self-consciousness will be ignored, as having been sufficiently considered.

[7] We should have expected Kant to have noticed this difficulty in A. 105, Mah. 199, where he describes what is involved in the relation of representations to an object, for his instance of representations becoming so related is the process of combining elements into a triangle, which plainly requires a synthesis of a very definite kind. For the reasons of his failure to notice the difficulty cf. p. 207.

[9] 'To relate' is used rather than 'to recognize as related', in order to conform to Kant's view of knowledge. But if it be desired to take the argument which follows in connexion with knowledge proper (cf. p. 242), it is only necessary to substitute throughout 'to recognize as related' for 'to relate' and to make the other changes consequent thereon.
