We just don't mix. Of course, I'm the ice cream because I'm much easier to "digest" than Kant is. That being said, here's my junk:
1. I don't get the difference between Understanding and Pure Understanding.
2. Synthesis of Recognition in the Concept and Deduction of the Pure Concepts of the Understanding... huh?!
3. My class notes are a hot mess. What's the end of this sentence?: "A logical form of judgment gives clues to the ______."
4. So Intuition and Understanding are both needed for the possibility of experience, right?
5. Can someone remind me why we can't derive general concepts from other general concepts?

5. If you think about it, there's a few reasons why it makes sense that we can't derive general concepts from other general concepts. Anything which would be derived from another general concept would in a way be contingent - dependent upon the truth of the original concept, so it would lack the universality or the necessity we've been so constantly harping on this semester. Think about our understanding of the word "derivative" - they're specific compounds or words or what have you that are just that, specific, and based upon a larger concept, so they cannot, by their very nature, be general.
3. I am not sure but I imagine this sentence might end with "pure concepts of the understanding".
5. I'd agree with what Jenna said, but on page 213 Kant does admit the existence of derivative concepts, which seem to be of a different order than general concepts.
