Phil 202 1st Edition Lecture 19Outline of Last Lecture I. Intuition and the Synthetic A prioriII. Space and TimeIII. Identifying KantOutline of Current Lecture I. Judgements: Experience vs. ObjectII. Concepts as Functions of UnityCurrent LectureI. Judgements: Experience vs. Object- For Kant, thinking = judging- Judgements: o of perception (The hat feels warm.)  vs. o of experience (The hat is made of wool.)- Whatever makes our experience of objects possible, also makes objects possible.o [Need to have spatial and temporal relations]- Judging = subsuming object under a concept; this is called subscription.o Ex: “made of wool”; concept: hat- Quality: o S is Po S is –Po S is (-P)  this is an infinite judgement.- Categorical Relation:o If S, then P.

Self-consciousness would not exist without categories of thought.- There are categories of thought in the experience we have.- Categories of thought: substance, cause, necessity, space & time- self-consciousness  unifying action and thought  judging according to mostly a priori concepts- schema – produced by imagination: how does one imagine time?- The concept of causality:o The mind orders time for us.o Succession is implicit (This proves Hume wrong.)- Kant thinks the imagination is the deepest mystery of the soul- The mind organizes our experience so we can have that
