Allness

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allness (Universitas, Totality) belongs in the category theory of the philosopher Immanuel Kant to the pure concepts of the understanding, ie to the elements of the understanding which are already given to man a priori , i.e. independent of the sensual experience. Allness, like unity and multiplicity, is assigned to the categories of quantity and corresponds to the individual judgments (judgment here in the sense of 'statement about reality') in the form “One S is P”, ie z. B. "Immanuel Kant is a philosopher". It is defined by Kant as “the plurality viewed as a unity” (KrV, B 497 f.).
