JAUREGUI, Claudia. Acerca de la interpretación de Mario Caimi de la deducción trascendental de las categorías de la Crítica de la razón pura (B). Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2008, vol.34, n.2, pp.327-335. ISSN 1852-7353.

In this work, I analyse Mario Caimi's interpretation of the Transcendental Deduction of the Pure Concepts of the Understanding presented by Kant in the Critique of Pure Reason. According to Caimi, the traditional problem of the relationship between thinking and being is formulated in this text in terms of the possibility of the legitimate application of the categories to real objects. The structure of the proof can be understood by following the way in which the principle of the unity of apperception becomes increasingly rich. Each step of the argument adds new elements -as for instance the notions of "object", "judgment", "empirical intuition", "nature"- by means of which new formulations of the principle are presented, in a progression that finally leads to its complete reconstruction.
