Abstract

In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant speaks of "subsumption" to explain the way in which categories would be able to determine the sensible in knowledge. Salomon Maimon and Richard Kroner show that there are certain difficulties in such an attempt. Both search for a way out of these difficulties, the former eliminating the duality of sources of knowledge; the lattery leaving behind the concept of subsumption. This article presents all three points of view and shows that, according to the Maimonian interpretation, both the Kantian attempt and Kroner's proposed solution are problematic.
