    It is not the case that Without synthesis and judgment as its vehicle, an ordering of representations cannot explain how we distinguish between objectively valid phenomena (objects) and the subjective states those phenomena induce.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Hume demonstrated that causal ordering of impressions arises from habitual association, not from judgment, yet still tracks mind-independent regularities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If associative regularities reliably co-vary with external causal structures, they provide a non-judgmental basis for distinguishing object from subjective state.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Kant's demand for synthesis therefore imports a rationalist commitment rather than establishing a necessary condition for objective representation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl's passive synthesis shows that pre-predicative experience already constitutes object-directed intentionality prior to active judgment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If objects are constituted at the level of passive synthesis without explicit categorial judgment, synthesis need not be the vehicle of objective validity as Kant claims.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.An ordering of representations without synthesis and judgment might reflect what appears to be the case.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing objectively valid phenomena (objects) from the subjective states they induce requires more than a mere appearance-reflecting ordering.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Synthesis and judgment are the vehicle by which objective validity is secured for representations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
