Abstract: Quite a lot of parallels could be found between works by J. N. Tetens written in the 1770es and Kant’s deduction of the categories. Some of them were inspired by Kant’s Dissertation 1770, the others influenced Critique of Pure Reason. The philosophical position of Tetens in Über die allgemeine speculativische Philosophie and Philosophische Versuche über die menschliche Natur und ihre Entwickelung is much closer to the one stated in Critique of Pure Reason than Kant’s own position in 1770 due to researching transcendent principles, considering the transcendent concepts as a priori concepts and setting the problem of their realization. However, the major step towards the transcendental deduction of the categories has been taken by Kant himself in terms of content and methodology.
