Abstract
This paper describes Immanuel Kant’s transcendental deductions from 1781 to 1790. The deduction is a central element of Kant’s critical project. However, a comparison of the seven deductions performed over the last decade of his work shows Kant rethought, sometimes radically, the method of deduction. The paper argues that Kant did not have a single model of deduction, rather he had an approach which he adapted to meet the requirements of his theoretical, practical and aesthetic philosophy. The paper sets out in clear steps what Kant tried to do with each deduction, thus providing the opportunity to identify what was common across the deductions as well as changes that reflected Kant’s continuous rethinking of them.
