IEP, Kant’s Dialectic, Loparic, Kant's Dialectic, Guyer, The Unity of Reason and Rotenstreich, Kant's Dialectic. On Kant's "transcendental dialectic" there is more or less an agreement, see e.g. In both cases the division is between correct and incorrect employment of understanding and reason in their formal (general, syntactic) and transcendental (synthetic, semantic) functions. Kant has two types of analytic and dialectic, formal and transcendental. To the analytic Darjes assigned "concepts and definitions and their origin either a priori or a posteriori, judgments and sentences, intuitive judgments and the generality a posteriori, discursive judgments." and to the dialectic "probability in general and as a way to dialectically find the truth, a way to find apparent terms or definitions, theoretical sentences a priori and a posteriori, philosophical hypotheses, hermeneutic probability, probable criticism, assessment of the likelihood of other people's opinions". The "discovering" part separates him from contemporary Wolffians, who saw logic only as ars demonstrandi, and anticipates the understanding of Logic (and dialectic in particular) in later German idealism.

He defined the analytic as the " science of rules for discovering truths with certainty" and dialectic as the " science of discovering plausible truths". This analogy may have moved Kant to adopt the Aristotelian term."ĭarjes is an 18th century author who published Introductio in Artem Inveniendi, seu Logicam theoretico-practicam, qua Analytica atque Dialectica.

The content of the Kantian transcendental analytics and dialectics is clearly quite different from that of the eponymous parts of the Aristotelian manuals but the hypothetical and antithetical character the transcendental dialectic probably corresponds to the concept of logica probabilium or disputatrix. Kant knew the Darjesian philosophy very well, he had dealt with it several times and stood in some details under the influence of Darjes and his school. " The division of the Critique of Pure Reason into Transcendental Analytic and Transcendental Dialectic is undoubtedly after the process made by Darjes. The genesis of the terms "analytic" and "dialectic" in Kant's time is discussed in Tonelli's Der historische Ursprung der kantischen Termini „Analytik“ und „Dialektik“, who concludes (my translation):

Found this after Conifold's answer(thanks!): Paul Rabe's influence on Kant's analytic/dialectic distinction: and.

Starting with the Transcendental Logic here, so, any help is appreciated.

Linguistic: When the Transcendental Dialectic process is associated with syllogisms.

(B171)Ībove we have called dialectic in general a logic of illusion. Only reason in its attempts to make out something about objects a priori and to extend cognition beyond the bounds of possible experience is wholly and entirely dialectical, and its illusory assertions do not fit into a canon of the sort that the analytic ought to contain.

Discoursive: Reason would be the equivalent of a discourse, a structure of ideas, product of the tendency to make judgements that conduct to the unity of the self.

The second part of the transcendental logic is called transcendental dialectic, not as an art of dogmatically arousing such illusion, but rather as a critique of the understanding and reason, in order to uncover the false illusion of their groundless pretensions and to reduce their claims to invention and amplification, putatively to be attained through transcendental principles, to the mere assessment and evaluation of the pure understanding.

Argumental: Reason would be an argumental mechanism, as Hegel's, producing assertions as the result of the process.

This, mixed with the already complex text, makes this term difficult to assess.Ī list of possible meanings that might fit:

The meaning of the term dialectic, as in Transcendental Dialectic, in the Critique Of Pure Reason, is obscure.
