Re: What is THIS? "This" forms the basis of a very special power of discriminating and judging.
German original: Hier wird die Vorstellung g瓣nzlich auf das Subjekt, und zwar auf das Lebensgef羹hl desselben, unter dem Namen des Gef羹hls der Lust oder Unlust, bezogen: welches ein ganz besonderes Unterscheidungs - und Beurteilungsverm繹gen gr羹ndet, das ...

Pluhar's English translation: 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</b> forms the basis of a very special power of discriminating and judging.


1. Pluhar's "this" refers to the subject, as well as, more specifically, the feeling of life. According to the German original, "this" is the translation of the neutral relational pronoun "welches" which can be taken to refer to the antecedent neural noun(s) "das Subjekt", "das Lebensgef羹hl" or "des Gef羹hls." Since these neutral nouns are appositives and share the same gender, they all could be taken to be the referent of "whecles". To understand the sentence, we can think as the following:
It is tIt is the subject, namely, the <b>feeling</b> of life (in the subject) which is better speby under the name of ame of the <b>feeling</b> of pleasure and displeasure, that forms the basis of the very special power of discriminating and judging.

2. "Name" is not an emphasis here; it is "the feeling of pleasure and displeasure" that matters here. Kant tries to indicate that the "feeling of life" is better understood with, or further specified by, the name of "feeling of pleasure and displeasure" here.
