A Commentary to Kant's 'Critique of Pure Reason'

by Norman Kemp Smith

[1325] I have dwelt upon this at length in my Studies in the Cartesian Philosophy.

[1326] A 271 = B 327.

[1327] The un-Critical character of Kant’s doctrine of the pure concept has already been noted (above, pp. 418-19), and need not be further discussed.

[1328] A 272 = B 328.

[1329] A 273 = B 329.

[1330] This is Leibniz’s mode of stating the absolutist view of thought (cf. above, p. xxx ff.) to which, as we shall find, Kant gives much more adequate and incomparably deeper formulation in the Dialectic. Cf. pp. 430, 547 ff., 558 ff.

[1331] Adickes, K. p. 272 n., allows that the passage may be of earlier origin than the passages which precede and follow it.

[1332] Pp. 214-15.

[1333] As such it is commented on above, p. 410 ff.
