Kant showed propositions have a ternary structure mediated by self-consciousness

Evidence

Kant, in the Transcendental Logic, has done precisely this: he has illuminated the ternary structure of the proposition by insisting on the importance of a medium, a middle term between two concepts. This medium, ‘the principle of the combination of subject and predicate in the judgement’, is self-consciousness. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1184

Categorization

• DEFINE: The ternary/medium structure of the judgment is Hegel’s re-reading of Kant’s synthetic unity — a key definitional move in the plasticity framework.
• XREF: connects to: Modern art’s drive came from Kant’s gap between the conceivable and presentable — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 74; Kant’s world is incoherent without self-consciousness’s unifying gift; In the third syllogism self-knowing reason mediates by dividing itself into spirit and nature — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 986
