I've only started reading this, I'm still on the transcendental aesthetic. I'm hoping that Kant will reinforce the tenuous ground he is laying his critique on, but considering he is already talking about catagories, I'm afraid I will be disappointed.
My big problem is he starts his critique with a Cartesian epistemology, if Descartes can be justly blamed for Kant's nominalism, I do not know much about our history. Wherein the world of appearances are merely representations in the mind with a nominal relationship to the corporeal universe, a haphazard presumption. Kant waves away the more tenable alternative, that the mind is represented in, not to say embodied in as I am inclined to, a real world of appearances. I fear I do not logic well enough to find to something substantial to say about the analytic/synthetic distinction in itself, and do not know what Quine is on, I guess it has something to do with the given, and doesn't accomadate continuity. I do find it too vague to build a critique on. My problem is the analytic synthetic distinction in the case of a priori judgements. The apriori synthetic judgements that Kant claims any scientific metaphysics must be grounded in, only hold water if you take his nominalism for granted, and you don't ask to many questions about how apriori knowledge can be given from apriori judgements. If representations, and the apriori knowledge abstracted from them, aren't assumed to be nominal and they represent a reality, how could a synthetic judgement be made from apriori knowledge without being posterior to it's reality? If you know something apriori about reality, it must have been prescinded from a posterior universal, now how could it be said to be an apriori synthetic judgement if the judgement is made by synthesizing an apriori abstraction with posterior knowledge of reality? From a realist perspective, apriori knowledge must follow from the world of appearances, which are real and can't be abstracted away, only prescinded.
