Document Summary
Oct 8, 2013 categories don"t make sense w/o intuitions intuitions gives content to the concept a priori status of intuitions. Space and time (they are formal intuitions); also have empirical reality (can experience them in reality outside); can cognize space and time; reality of space and time bound up in objects. Innate ideas extension and figure; motion for kant, innate ideas get their justification from experience. For kant, to be a body is to have spatial properties and we have to be able to experience it (in extension and figure). so extension and figure are innate ideas that are a priori. For kant, the mind is imagination, reason, understanding, sensibility, and intuition. For kant, the notion of the mind misleads us. Mind is not a substance. body distinct from substance. Kant is not concerned with empirical psychology (where the brain exists, what the brain does).
