Henry E. Allison presents an analytical and historical account of Kant's transcendental deduction of the pure concepts of the understanding in the 'Critique of Pure Reason'. He traces the line of thought that led Kant to a recognition of the need for transcendental deduction, and defends Kant's 'non-contingency thesis' and 'non-separability thesis'.
