Kant's philosophy is both rich and propound, which can be embodied in his" Three Critiques" . His "Critique of Pure Reason is a cornerstone of hisphilosophical system. The widely-read and far-reaching monumental work opens thesource of German classic philosophy and reveals the secrets of the philosophies fromPlato and Aristotle to Leibniz and Hume, and influences the development and courseof modern Western philosophy deeply, and starts a revolution of philosophy, namely,"a Copernicusian Revolution" , and therefore brings about a revolution of thinkingmode of haman-race."Critique of Pure Reason" that produces Kant's metaphysics of knowledge discovers the real source of truth successfully. "Verstand" (understanding) of mankind can engenders empirical knowledge when drawing support from "Amchauung" (perceiving) of "Priori Sinnlichkeit" (inborn perceptuality) by means of arranging of phenomena, and in the couse of process of cognition mentioned above, categories of " Ver stand" constitutes objective and universal effectiveness of krowledge; but phenomena are just media that are manifesting objective knowledge, and are targets that are being arranged, from which we can conclude that there is a transcendental knowledge of mankind.This paper will respectively deduce categories of " Verstand" subjectively and objectively according to "Transcendental Analyses" of Kant's "First Critique" , and try to find how the categories that have properties of transcendental logic possess objectiveness, from which a knowledge that is universal and necessary can be engendered. In Chapter â… , Kant's "Table of Categories" will be talked about; two types of deduction will be elaborated specifically, and how categories give objectiveness to phenomena will be expounded in chapter â…¡; and in chapter â…¢, the theory of schema of categories, namely, how transcendental knowledge connects phenomena that are very different in nature from categories will be discussed, and the stress of the discussion will be put on imagimative power and transcendental time that are playing a role in schema; and in Chapter â…£, theoretical and practical significance of Kant's category theory will be mentioned.
