What is THIS? "This" forms the basis of a very special power of discriminating and judging.
In section 1, Kant wrote:

Here the presentation is referred only to the subject, namely, to his feeling of life, under the name feeling of pleasure and displeasure, and <b>this forms the basis of a very special power of discriminating and judging</b>.

I am wondering: what specifically "this" refers to?

Also, I am wondering is that Kant really use "under the name" of pleasure and displeasure. It seems he uses "the name" on purpose.
