...Anil Gomes; A. W. Moore; Andrew Stephenson For Kant, the human cognitive faculty has two subfaculties: sensibility and the understanding.

This suggests a return to a kind of Goodmanian view that the world is a structureless mess onto which we project our own categorizations, not something with categories already built in. This is the same problem of missing value. The idea is that the primitive...

... understands Hegel’s Logic to set out, in a quasi-Kantian manner, the categories necessary for “self-conscious life” (248). She takes the Subjective Logic in particular, in which the Concept is examined, to be “Hegel’s own version of a ‘critique of judgment’” that aims to show inner purposiveness and life...
