Full Description
Kant examines the cognitive conditions so that people can objectively make truthful judgments. The simplest among them are the perception-based judgments of experience that he apostrophized, the most demanding the judgments that formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions of the possibility and the fruitfulness of the experience. Kant asks why, despite the subject-relative, cognitive conditions of human knowledge, these judgments can be objectively true. The author traces Kant's methodical path to his goal: to clarify the complex subjective deep structures, especially of these two types of judgment, and to show to what extent their objective truth ability nevertheless depends on these subjective cognitive deep structures. This volume is the second of the two planned volumes on Kant's theory of experience.
