Transcendental Logic In Kant's Critical Philosophy

It is known that there is an old and deep-rooted relationship between philosophy and logic. However, it cannot be said that the problems addressed by most philosophical systems are primarily described with a critique or interpretation of logic. Most philosophers have found it unnecessary to attempt logical criticism in the face of the perfection and completeness of Aristotle's logic. However, Kant argues that the formality of Aristotelian logic, which he refers to as general logic in terms of the main aims of his critical philosophy, poses an obstacle to explaining the functioning of our understanding. Explaining the formation and use of our concepts only with general logic causes us to get stuck between empiricism and rationalism. Kant's opening of a new field of logic, which he calls transcendental logic, forms the backbone of his Critique of Pure Reason. This study will explain the role played by transcendental logic in Kant's critical philosophy.

Abstract

It is known that there is an old and deep-rooted relationship between philosophy and logic. However, it cannot be said that the problems addressed by most philosophical systems are primarily described with a critique or interpretation of logic. Most philosophers have found it unnecessary to attempt logical criticism in the face of the perfection and completeness of Aristotle's logic. However, Kant argues that the formality of Aristotelian logic, which he refers to as general logic in terms of the main aims of his critical philosophy, poses an obstacle to explaining the functioning of our understanding. Explaining the formation and use of our concepts only with general logic causes us to get stuck between empiricism and rationalism. Kant's opening of a new field of logic, which he calls transcendental logic, forms the backbone of his Critique of Pure Reason. This study will explain the role played by transcendental logic in Kant's critical philosophy.
