A category is a pure concept of the understanding. The understanding is defined as the faculty of the mind which deals with concepts. Immanuel Kant believe that human mind can regulate experience with space and time, but there is a category before an experience.
Kant arranges the forms of judgment in a table of judgments which he uses to guide the derivation of the table of categories. He creates a list of categories by first enumerating the forms of possible objective judgment which are endowed with their objectivity by virtue of their inherent apriory concepts.
Quantity of Judgments, there are universal, particular, and singular.
Quality, there are affirmative, negative, infinite.
Relation, there are categorical, hypothetical, disjunctive
Modality, there are problematic, assertoric, appodeictic
Then, Kant differentiated twelve pure concepts of understanding four classes of three, they are:
Categories of quantity, there are unity, plurality, and totality.
Categories of quality, there are reality, negation, and limitation.
Categories of relation, there are inherence and subsistence (substance and accident), causality and dependence (cause and effect), and community (reciprocity between agent and patient)
Categories of modality, there are possibility-impossibility, existence-nonexistence, and necessity-contingency.
These category is a native conception of understanding and a pure concept of understanding. Then Kant said that thought without the content with perception supply are empty. Kant said that representations must have some common ground if they are to be the source of possible knowledge, this ground of all experience is the self-consciousness of the experiencing subject. So, categories feature is an important thing for the experience.
Each category has a schema. Schemata are needed to link the pure category to sensed phenomenal appearances because the categoties are heterogeneous with sense intuition.
