Kant's Transcendental Distinction

Abstract

HAD I cherished the wish to involve Mr. Mahaffy in a war of words (λоγоδηρία), so often degenerating into a war about words (λоγоμαχία), his straightforward and sensible letter, wreathed with courtesy and generosity, would have extinguished it. But, with some desire to justify my own censure, I had no such wish; and now that I know exactly what he had in mind, in the examination question, as in the note on page 57 of his work, I will say my say as briefly as possible on his view of Kant's “distinctions.”
