Does anyone know of a well-thought-out list of this sort. Of course I
could make one by surveying the cognitive psych literature,but why
reinvent the wheel?
Your email acquaintance mentioned Kant. You may want to look at Kant's
categories, in his Critique of Pure Reason.
These are the 'Categories of the Understanding' by which Kant thought the
mind structures cognition:
Quantity
*Unity
*Plurality
*Totality
Quality
*Reality
*Negation
*Limitation
Relation
*Inherence and Subsistence (substance and accident)
*Causality and Dependence (cause and effect)
*Community (reciprocity)
Modality
*Possibility
*Existence
*Necessity
