This investigation seeks to thoroughly present Kant's theory of "original acquisition" of knowledge, which has been largely overlooked in research. The theory, which Kant hinted at throughout his works, is central to his critical philosophy. It addresses how certain representations originate within the cognitive faculty itself, as formulated in his 1770 dissertation, and raises questions about their reference to objects. This theory is foundational to the so-called problem of deduction and marks a significant epistemological shift in Kant's thought around 1772. According to his acquisition theory, a priori concepts emerge from logical rules of thought when applied to sensory objects. Kant articulated this connection as early as 1770, using well-known logical rules as a guide to define a priori concepts. He derives categories from judgment forms and ideas from syllogistic forms in the Critique of Pure Reason, linking the transcendental faculty of pure concepts to the logical faculty of judgment, thus addressing the relationship between fo
