Clarifying last statements on Kant ...
I don't think i said that real well ... though the main point is probably clear.
I'll break it down using the Paul Guyer break-out:
The Critique of Pure Reason ... the meat of the book ... and the mass ... is covered in The Transcendental Logic
The Transcendental Logic has 2 divisions ...
The Transcendental Analytic
The Transcendental Deduction
The TA is there to say that there is "synthetic a priori" knowledge, but it is only available through the sense. Kant's critique of space and time and such notions about which i post from time to time all falls under this section. All talk of the "understanding" falls under here.
The TD, about which i attempted to speak last post, is a destructive turn. Its purpose is to show that dogmatic metaphysics cannot be a ground for knowledge.
A big part of the Critique's force revolves around whether one agrees that synthetic a priori judgements are possible. Or, like Morton White, you may deny that claim.
