Kants Kategorientafel
Quantität -- Qualität -- Relation -- Modalität
Einheit -- Realität -- Substanz und Akzidens -- Möglichkeit
Vielheit -- Negation -- Ursache und Wirkung -- Existenz
Allheit -- Limitation -- Wechselwirkung -- Notwendigkeit
In his 1965 lectures (The Grice Collection, Berkeley), Grice used "Mode" for what he'll later have as "Manner" -- the famous 'manner' implicatures --. The problem is Abbott who is never sure as to how to render "Modalitaet".
And the problem is Kant's. This is Aristotle 101: quantitas, qualitas, relatio, and modalitas.

Denotation would seemingly be assertoric, and thus under "Modalität". Or Apodeictic, if tautological or universal. But that's what's odd about Kant's table--many types of judgments might overlap. Affirmative statements could be something like assertoric, couldn't they? Again, Reality may not be as discrete as Kant wanted (or...Aristotle, ultimately). The relation between the judgment and categories also a bit puzzling--YET I tend to think the judgments includes the categories; the rather important necessity/contingency distinction is found under categories, not judgment. Sort of a ..refinement. That said, it's a handy ontological chart .
ReplyDeleteYet...Grice, and other ord-lang people certainly allowed for...something like connotation, did they not. Not sure where that fits on table. Perhaps possibility (moglichkeit).
