Note 78 — Chapter II
Reading edition
The distinction here implied has been criticised on the ground that (a) if the so-called elements are really judgments, the combination of them yields no fresh judgment; while (b) if the combination is really an independent judgment, the elements into which it can be analysed are not themselves judgments. It will be seen that (a) is intended to apply to conjunctive syntheses, and (b) to hypotheticals and disjunctives. We shall consider the argument under these heads severally.
