ABSTRACT
Much of the interest of Kant's transcendental deduction lies in material that is logically incidental to the reasoning I have just described. Some of this material, which Kant virtually eliminated from the version in his second edition, concerns the relation of appearances to an object. Since objects may be collective as well as single, Kant's discussion of this relation has important consequences for his view of our entire experiential world. I shall begin with his view of a single object of experience and then gradually work my way to his conception of a world of causally interacting substances.
