Where the Categories Come From

German philosophy had to invent its own words, and the one English renders as intuition was built to order. Paul Guyer, who spent decades turning Immanuel Kant's German into English, starts inside that invention, then follows Kant to a stranger ambition: a complete list of every basic concept the mind brings to the world. Aristotle guessed at such a list; Kant thought he had found the method that ends the guessing. Along the way, a woolly, blockish sheep, a dog accused of biting the mailman, and a moment where Guyer catches Kant being sloppy. How do you finish a list like that, and how would you ever know?
