Logic And Fact-Rethinking Kant’s Concept Of "Transcendental Perception"

In Kant’s philosophy,many concepts are derived from Kant’s analysis of existing empirical facts,that is to say,he analyzes them logically(epistemologically),but the concepts derived from these analyses are actually applied,that is,internalized in facts.This involves two levels of logic and fact.And this is the perspective of logic and fact that the author understands.There are many similar concepts in Kant’s theoretical philosophy,of which "transcendental apperception" is one."Transcendental apperception" is the highest point of Kant’s logical analysis of empirical facts,but this highest point is finally applied to empirical facts.Not only can the study of "transcendental apperception" adopt the perspective of logic and fact,but also other similar conceptual studies in Kant’s philosophy can also adopt this perspective.Therefore,this article tries to make a systematic and in-depth investigation of this concept from the perspective of logic and facts.This article will focus on "transcendental apperception" and related issues.In the first chapter of this article,the author will discuss the origin and connotation of Kant’s term "transcendental apperception",focusing on Kant’s transformation and transcendence of Leibniz’s concept of "apperception" and the connotation of "transcendental".Only when these two aspects are discussed clearly,the true connotation of Kant’s "transcendental apperception" is naturally revealed.In the next chapter,the author will investigate some related items of "transcendental apperception",mainly discussing from two aspects.On the one hand,the author will investigate the function of "transcendental apperception".The function of "transcendental apperception" is mainly a function of unity.This is fully reflected in the concept of "connection".The concept of "connection" is examined in detail.On the other hand,the author will investigate the realization of "transcendental apperception",which is realized in horizontal and vertical ways.The third chapter mainly discusses the question of "transcendental apperception" and "I think".Can we equate the two? Where is Kant’s development of Descartes? This leads to this discussion,namely internal experience and external experience which one is more prioritized.In the last chapter,the author will distinguish and analyze the problems of "transcendental apperception",mainly focusing on the position between categories,and "transcendental apperception" and transcendental imagination which one is more prioritized.
