The 6 ideas with the same theme [mind imposes some categories onto possible experience]:

Kant deduced the categories from our judgements, and then as preconditions of experience [Kant, by Houlgate]
Kant says we can describe the categories of thought, but Hegel claims to deduce them [Kant, by Meillassoux]
Four groups of categories of concept: Quantity, Quality, Relation and Modality [Kant]
The categories are objectively valid, because they make experience possible [Kant]
Categories are concepts that prescribe laws a priori to appearances [Kant]
