The merit of Hegel is to have indicated and to a large extent displayed the filiation and mutual limitation of our forms of thought; to have arranged them in the order of their comparative capacity to give a satisfactory expression to truth in the totality of its relations; and to have broken down the partition which in Kant separated the formal logic from the transcendental analytic, as well as the general disruption between logic and metaphysic.

Hence arises the distinction between the Transcendental Aesthetic and the Transcendental Analytic, the former dealing with the a priori judgements of mathematics, which relate to the sensibility, and the latter dealing with the a priori principles of physics, which originate in the understanding.

But transcendental logic must be divided into transcendental analytic and transcendental dialectic.

Transcendental analytic is the dissection of the whole of our a priori knowledge into the elements of the pure cognition of the understanding.

I know no investigations more necessary for a full insight into the nature of the faculty which we call understanding, and at the same time for the determination of the rules and limits of its use, than those undertaken in the second chapter of the "Transcendental Analytic," under the title of "Deduction of the Pure Conceptions of the Understanding"; and they have also cost me by far the greatest labour—labour which, I hope, will not remain uncompensated.
