Rüdiger Bubner on Synthesis - Dictionary of Arguments
I 95 Synthesis/Kant/Bubner: more than a central theme, it is also an operational instrument in Kant. What he says about them is not everything he knows or assumes as known. Transcendental Analytics/Kant: Reason for the knowledge of mind Transcendental Dialectics/Kant: separates from it the deceptive appearance. Analysis/Syntheses/Leibniz: inherits this method parallel to its successors. It stems from Plato: ability to group and separate._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
