It is to be admitted that the precise and exact significance of
a given predication depends on the content of the judgment itself:
but this does not mean that there are not basic categories
which make the act of predication itself possible. Thus if I
make the assertion---if life is present, moisture is its cause---the
exact causal relation between moisture and life is discernible
only from experiential data; but that I make the judgment at all
implies ultimately that my mind is so oriented as to understand
things in terms of ground and consequent.
Could there be any new categories? Obviously not, unless
the basic types of logical judgment are themselves determinable
in an entirely different fashion from which we have outlined,
for a category is precisely a basic presupposition of all thought
or intelligible predication; so that thought does not exist unless
the whole categorical structure is present. Only such an ultimate
presupposition can legitimately be granted a synthetic a
priori status and thus be correctly called a category.
Since therefore the whole range of objections suggested is
thus shown to be invalid, I conclude that the pragmatic opposition
to synthetic apriorism is unjustified. Pragmatism---like rationalism
and empiricism before it---stands silent before the bar
of reason.
From the Vantage Point of Intuitionism
The Meaning of Intuitionism in Epistemology
Intuitionism, as expounded by Bergson for example, is the
epistemological doctrine that intellect requires supplementation,
extension, and transcension in a higher faculty of knowledge,
called intuition, which alone is adequate for an insight into the
reality of things as they are.
This view by no means repudiates the synthetic a priori factor
of intellectual knowledge; what is does maintain is that real-
