GIOVANNINI, Eduardo N.. La conciencia pura del tiempo y el método analítico en la «Deducción transcendental de las categorías (A)» de Kant. Tópicos [online]. 2009, n.17. ISSN 1666-485X.

This paper aims to offer an interpretation of the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories (A) which puts together two of its most distinctive and fundamental traits: the constant reference to the temporal character of the human consciousness and the use of the analytic method of exposition. We will defend the thesis that the connection between both traits is essential, i. e., it will be argued that it is precisely the usage of the analytic method what confers to the pure consciousness of time a significant role in the structure of the argument. With this thesis an alternative reading of the A-Deduction is pursued, one which moves away from the predominant one which claims that Kant's persistent allusion in it to the pure time representation - and to the synthesis which make it possible - is just a direct consequence of its psychological character.

Keywords : Kant; A-Transcendental Deduction; Pure consciousness of time; Analytic Method.
