Kant's Theory of a Priori Knowledge

Greenberg advances four central these: (1) the Critique is primarily concerned about the possibility, or relation to objects, of a priori (not empirical) knowledge, and Kant's theory of that possibility is defensible; (2) Kant's transcendental ontology must be distinct from the conditions of the possibility of a priori knowledge; (3) the functions of judgment, in Kant's discussion of the Table of Judgments, should be seen according to his transcendental logic as having content, not as being just logical forms of judgment making; and (4) Kant's distinction between and connection of ordering relations (Verhaltnissen) and reference relations (Beziehungen) have to be kept in mind to avoid misunderstanding the Critique.
At every step of the way Greenberg contrasts his view with the major interpretations of Kant by commentators like Henry Allison, Jonathan Bennett, Paul Guyer, and Peter Strawson. Not only does this new approach to Kant present a strong challenge to these dominant interpretations, but by being more true to Kant's own intent, it also holds promise for making better sense out of what have been seen as the First Critique's discordant themes.
