in concepts, judgments, and syllogisms, and thus [133] to establish formal rules for the proper employment of the [109] understanding. If it were to attempt to show in general how anything should be arranged under these rules, and how we should determine whether something falls under them or not,this could only take place by means of a new rule. This, because it is a new rule, requires a new precept for the faculty ofjudgment, and we thus learn that, though the understanding is capable of being improved and instructed by means of rules, the faculty of judgment is a special talent which cannot be taught, but must be practised. This is what constitutes our so-called mother-wit, the absence of which cannot be remedied by any schooling. For although the teacher may offer, and as it were graftinto a narrow understanding, plenty of rules borrowed fromthe experience of others, the faculty of using them rightly must belong to the pupil himself, and without that talent no precept that may be given is safe from abuse.1 A physician, therefore, a judge, or [134] a politician, may carry in his head many beautiful pathological, juridical, or political rules, nay, he may even become an accurate teacher of them, and he may yet in the application of these rules commit many a blunder, either because he is deficient in judgment, though not in understanding, knowing the general in the abstract, but unable to determine whether a concrete case falls under it; or, it may be, because his judgment has not been sufficiently trained by examples and practical experience. It is the [110] one great advantage of examples that they sharpen the faculty of judgment, but they are apt to impair the accuracy and precision of the understanding, because they fulfil but rarely the conditions of the rule quite adequately (as casus in terminis). Nay, they often weaken the effort of the understanding in comprehending rules according to their general adequacy, and independent of the special circumstances of experience, and accustom us to use those rules in the end as formulas rather than as principles. Examples may thus be called the go-cart of the judgment, which those who are deficient in that natural



talent1 can never do without. But although general logic can give no precepts [135] to the faculty of judgment, the case is quite different with transcendental logic, so that it even seems as if it were the proper hi of the latterto correct and to establish by definite rules the faculty of thejudgment in the use of the pure understanding. For as a doctrine and a means of enlarging the field of pure knowledge a priori for the benefit of the understanding, philosophy does not seem necessary, but rather hurtful, because, in spite of all attempts that have been hitherto made, hardly a single inch of ground has been gained by it. For critical purposes, however, and in order to guard the faculty of judgment against mistakes (lapsus judicii) in its use of the few pure concepts of the understanding which we possess, philosophy (though its benefits may be negative only) has to employ all the


acuteness and penetration at its command. [111] What distinguishes transcendental philosophyis, that besides giving the rules (or rather the general condition of rules) which are contained inthe pure concept of the understanding, it can at the same time indicate a priori the case to which each rule may be applied. The superiority which it enjoys in this respect over all other sciences, except mathematics, is due to this, that it treats of concepts which are meant to refer to their .
