Beskrivning

This book argues that the primary function of human thinking in language is to make judgments, which are logical-normative connections of concepts. Perceptual syntheses are simultaneously pre-linguistic and proto-rational, and the understanding (Kant’s Verstand) makes these syntheses conceptually and thus self-consciously explicit.
