In this paper I develop Paul Redding's suggestion that Peircean abduction and Hegel's discussion of the syllogism can be seen as a working out of Kant's treatment of the reflecting power of judgment, particularly concerning its role in conceptual change. After some historical background I regiment a use of singular terms, kind terms, and predicates across Hegel's three syllogistic figures and reconstruct an account of comprehension and extension for this system suggested by Peirce. In doing so I show that reasoning according to the ampliative syllogistic figures affects the content of these three classes of terms in precise ways. I close with a treatment of inference by analogy (associated by Hegel with the third syllogistic figure) as an exercise of reflection, and I discuss two cases in the history of science, one in astronomy and the other in biology, where a reflective exercise associated with analogical inference revised our understanding of the domain in question.

三段论推理作为判断内容的基础：从康德到黑格尔到皮尔士的一条思路

在本文中，我发展了保罗·雷丁的建议，即皮尔士的溯因推理和黑格尔对三段论的讨论可以看作是康德对判断的反映力的处理，特别是关于它在概念变化中的作用。在一些历史背景之后，我在黑格尔的三个三段论形象中组织了单数术语、类术语和谓词的使用，并为皮尔士提出的这个系统重建了一个理解和扩展的说明。在这样做的过程中，我表明根据放大三段论图形的推理会以精确的方式影响这三类术语的内容。最后，我将通过类推（黑格尔将其与第三个三段论形象联系起来）作为一种反思练习来处理，并讨论科学史上的两个案例，
