Tossup
Specific term required. Arguments described by this adjective employ a “privileged class” of propositions that must be true in order for language to exist, according to an article by Barry Stroud. A book by Henry Allison about a theory with this adjective holds that cognizing objects requires “epistemic conditions” like quantity, quality, relation, and modality, four means that an earlier thinker held allows for the synthesis of “manifolds.” The “Doctrine of Elements” section of a book outlines an “aesthetic” described by this adjective that considers space and time as simply tools for intuiting the structures of objects. That argument lays the groundwork for a “deduction” described by this adjective that answers “how are synthetic a priori judgments possible?” For 10 points, what adjective names a form of “idealism” outlined in Critique of Pure Reason? ■END■
