A muse continued from the previous post and aimed at the necessity of the affinity of all specters/appearances/Erscheinungen for any perception, which would serve then to refute Hume. It is only by means of the affinity that we are able to conceive of the specter as a representation of a thing and not a thing on its own.

Musing on paragraph 10 (in the German) of Part III of the A version of the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories. I am trying to think the connection between perception and category and draw on my reading of the Prologomena

Musing on the conditions for a consciousness of self and how this is synthetic a priori and not derived from any empirical consciousness. And how the apperception denotes also the affinity of all appearances/Erscheinungen.

Looking to clarify what I take to be the role of the thing on its own (das Ding an sich) and the object of experience; any how the transcendental object = nature.

How the understanding determines all objects to be found in the specters, and how, at the same time, we are certain of a transcendental affinity subjecting all specters to laws of a nature (which is the categorical understanding). Its the choice between treating the specter as a thing on its own, or as the representation of some object.
