Abstract
This paper scrutinizes Kant's theoretical paradigm pertaining to the formation of concepts, with a central emphasis on the distinction between analytic and synthetic judgments, a cornerstone tenet of transcendental logic. Utilizing Kant's theory of "definition" as a guiding thread, it elucidates the dynamic processes through which concepts are acquired, modified, and expanded by analytic and synthetic judgments through experience. Moreover, the paper propounds a conceptual model that illuminates the intricate interplay between empirical concepts and regulative ideals, underscoring its implications for comprehending the process of concept formation.
