    Apodictic

    Comments? Criticisms? How does this compare to Aristotle's categories? Is a 'relation' category necessary when in truth, every judgment is relational? Is the whole damn thing useless and antiquated and should be thrown away?

    Kant's catagories are valuable to thought, as one of many interesting explanations. My favorite explanation is that of Habermas, but it is merely a personal preference, not necessarily better.
