Abstract
“In this contribution, I intend to analyse the notions of analogy that are involved in the texts of the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Judgement. I argue that in the first text we find a reformulation of the notion of mathematical analogy. The semantic field of mathematical enquiry is recovered in the “Analogies of Experience”, although in order to constitute a new term that refers to a specific subject.
In the Critique of Judgement, another notion of analogy is recovered. This is taken from the studies on Logic, and refers to a kind of inference specific to the faculty of judgement.
Just as before the development of the enquiry of pure reason the notion is significant in at least two different areas and with different meanings, in the structure of the critical texts it functions as a non-univocal term, which nevertheless fulfils specific functions in specific places within the system”.
