Multiplicity
In the category theory of the philosopher Immanuel Kant , the concept of multiplicity belongs 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 sensory experience. Multiplicity is assigned to the categories of quantity and corresponds to the special judgments (judgment here in the sense of 'statement about reality') in the form “Some S are P”, ie z. B. "some people are philosophers".
