In the Introduction to the Transcendental Dialectic, of the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant presents a conception of error. In the (Jäsche) Logic, he also deals with the problem of error, albeit in a different way. This paper aims to highlight this difference and arguing that, in the (Jäsche) Logic, error is explained more consistently and suitably than it is in the Transcendental Dialectic. It begins by considering judgment as the place of truth, falsehood and error, and inquiring into the (...) cognitive faculties that take part in its framing. These faculties, whose roles cannot be interchanged, are the sensibility, passive and receptive, and the understanding, active and spontaneous. Erroneous judgment springs from the unnoticed influence of sensibility on understanding, which makes the understanding hold merely subjective grounds of judgment to be objective ones. In the Transcendental Dialectic, this unnoticed influence is conceived in such a way that sensibility is, in a certain sense, held to be the determining ground of error, as if it were an active faculty, whereas in the (Jäsche) Logic that influence is conceived in such a way that the understanding itself is regarded as the source and author of error. This author agrees with the conception of the understanding as submitted to prescriptive laws, which is contained in the very definition of Pure General Logic, as a science of the a priori laws of how the understanding ought to think.

Na Estética Transcendental, Kant conclui que o espaço e o tempo são formas da sensibilidade e intuições puras. Neste trabalho examina-se a exposição metafísica dos conceitos de espaço e tempo, relacionando-a com a concepção de grandezas extensivas, da Analítica Transcendental. Em seguida examina-se o procedimento adotado na Estética Transcendental para a obtenção daqueles resultados. Não se pretende considerar toda a argumentação kantiana, mas apenas alguns de seus pontos, levantando questões sobre estes. Parece que a afirmação de Kant de que a (...) intuição pura do espaço contém em si as representações de espaços limitados é problemática e discorda do procedimento que ele se propõe seguir na Estética Transcendental. Parece que esta mesma conclusão é válida no que diz respeito ao tempo. (shrink)
