		<title>Kant and the transcendental answer to frailty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two different ways in which transcendental can be understood. On the one hand, we can claim the transcendentiality is the transcendent; something which exists outside the sphere of all possible cognitions &#8211; something not able to be given in empirical consciousness. On the other, the transcendental is that which lies at the ground [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=28&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Kantian apperception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the Possibility of a Conjunction of the Manifold Representations given by Sense
Kant begins Section II of the Transcendental Deduction with an overview of the faculty of representation, as constituted by the information and activity given by (or contributed by) intuition and understanding. I may have this wrong, but it&#8217;s the most I can understanding [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=27&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Note on Apperception / working through</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading the Transcendental Deduction in Kant&#8217;s Critique of Pure Reason, and realized that I didn&#8217;t have an exact grasp on the concept of apperception in a specific way, only in a general sense, and more specifically as Kant uses it rather synonymously to self-consciousness. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m right on this, but it helps [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=25&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Transiency and Dissimulation in Marilynne Robinson&#8217;s &#8220;Housekeeping&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Housekeeping, more than any other work I&#8217;ve read recently, brims with Derridean themes, from its tropic structure, to the particulars of the metaphors, to the characters and their actions themselves. Not in the sense that it begs for deconstruction, but that it appears to be a novel format for presenting the same themes Derrida does [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=22&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>First Division of Transcendental Analytic (Book I, Chapter 2, Section I)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Book I: Analytic of Concepts
Chapter2, Section I


Of the Principles of a Transcendental Deduction in General
I. This section is otherwise entitled the Transcendental Deduction. Kant here stresses the necessity of a deduction of the concept of cause transcendentally, not from induction, since the empirical inference of causation only, as Hume proved, &#8220;[collects] from phenomena a law&#8230;that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=19&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Chapter I


 
I. General Introduction
a.        to analyze the whole of our a priori knowledge into the elements of pure cognition of the understanding (i.e., the transcendental analytic):
i.      (1) the conceptions (of analysis) must be pure, not empirical; (2) they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=12&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Second Part: Transcendental Logic

I. Of Logic in General
a.        All knowledge arises from two sources in the mind:
i.      Intuition: the faculty (power) of receiving representations (impressions). Through intuition, an object is given to us. Always sensuous.
ii.      Understanding: the power [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=10&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First Part: Transcendental Aesthetic

I. Definitions
a.        Representation: designates an object in its determination by the subject; being the subjective action of forming the object at that level. Includes intuitions, concepts, and ideas. The understanding processes representations. Also: &#8220;presentation.&#8221;
b.       Concept/conception: active representations, by means [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=7&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kant, in outline form. Updated whenever I see fit, find time to read, transcribe notes, stop sleeping, or generally get up off my ass. Outline, however, is incorrect. What would be correct is silhouette, since outlines are brief and terse, but silhouettes are proportional in size (and, in the case of Kant, the potential to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=quickly45.wordpress.com&blog=3912803&post=3&subd=quickly45&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
