Part One
Fundamental Concepts and Definitions
This unit contains two gates.
The First Gate: Basic Concepts — The Analytic and the Synthetic
The Second Gate: Matter and Form — The Thing in Itself and Its Appearances
This unit is devoted to presenting and defining the basic concepts that will serve us throughout the entire discussion. The first gate presents the concepts of the “analytic” and the “synthetic,” and expands them into the definition of general philosophical positions: the analytic approach and the synthetic approach. The discussion in this gate takes place primarily on the logical plane. The second gate deals with the various theories of knowledge that derive from these positions, and its discussion takes place primarily on the epistemological plane.
