Abstract

The present paper intends to defend that one of properties of the synthetic a priori judgments is to have certainty in different degrees. It is necessary to understand the ‘complete certainty’ from derivation of the antagonism of two fundamental modal concepts: necessity and contingency. The first concept, the necessity, is derived of apodictic modality of judgments. In Kant’s philosophy, the synthetic a priori judgments have the security of their a priori origin more the extensive character. Any discipline to ascend to the status of science should to produce such judgments; judgments endowed of security and able to anticipate the experience. Theoretical sciences as pure physics and pure mathematics that produce synthetic a priori judgments are sciences endowed in their judgments with these properties. Finally, inside of the proposed finality, this paper aims to show how is possible inside Kant’s project the certainty in synthetic a priori judgments.
