Apodictic Judgment
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The fourth stage of judgments of the concept/modality judgments. It expresses that something necessarily corresponds to its concept. Hegel uses in the example "good" in the sense of "corresponds to its concept," as when we speak of a "good friend." Hegel shows that this is implicitly already an inference: "This house (I), so constituted (P), is good (U)." The constitution (P) is the mediating middle term. The apodictic judgment therefore compels the transition to the inference.
Origin: Kant (categories of modality). Hegel (development of the forms of judgment).
