By drawing extensively on Kant's logical writings, Béatrice Longuenesse analyzes this controversial claim, and then follows the thread through its continuation in the transcendental deduction of the categories, the transcendental schemata, and the principles of pure understanding. The result is a systematic, persuasive new interpretation of the \u003ci\u003eCritique of Pure Reason\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Longuenesse shows that although Kant adopts his inventory of the forms of judgment from logic textbooks of his time, he is nevertheless original in selecting just those forms he holds to be indispensable to our ability to relate representations to objects. Kant gives formal representation to this relation between conceptual thought and its objects by introducing the term \"x\" into his analysis of logical forms to stand for the object that is \"thought under\" the concepts that are combined in judgment. This \"x\" plays no role in Kant's forms of logical inference, but instead plays a role in clarifying the relation between logical forms (forms of concept subordination) and combinations (\"syntheses\") of perceptual data, necessary for empirical cognition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Considering Kant's logical forms of judgment thus helps illuminate crucial aspects of the Transcendental Analytic as a whole, while revealing the systematic unity between Kant's theory of judgment in the first Critique and his analysis of \"merely reflective\" (aesthetic and teleological) judgments in the third Critique.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Béatrice Longuenesse's new book is a thorough reconsideration of Kant's first \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e, animated by Kant's greatest philosophical ambitions and informed by the best erudition, superior philosophical intelligence, and close textual fidelity. \u003ci\u003eKant and the Capacity to Judge\u003c\/i\u003e will prove to be an important and influential event in Kant studies and in philosophy.\"\u003cb\u003e--Robert B.
