Example text
Whilst Kant states in the Metaphysical Deduction that the same understanding, by means of the same acts, produces a unity both in intuition Synthesis and Intuition 19 and in judgment, he also elsewhere suggests that the unity of intuition is not a product of the concepts of understanding but rather of a synthesis that precedes all concepts. So how can there be a synthesis, prior to conceptuality, carried out by the understanding that produces unity in intuition when the unity of judgment, said to be carried out by the understanding, by means of the same acts of understanding, clearly involves concepts?
For all dissatisfied with such a paradoxical situation there needs to be a deeper inquiry, than McDowell takes to be necessary, into the distinction of intuition from concepts, a distinction that is greater than is suggested by McDowell and which has to be accounted for in terms of both its genesis and structure. It is to provide this account that we need an investigation into Kant’s transcendental psychology. Understanding and unity: The guiding thread of our interpretation What this chapter has revealed is that Kant’s account of intuition is one that is the subject of extremely varied interpretations and that these interpretations express a central difficulty that they are unable to resolve.
The citation from Kant’s response to Eberhard that is used by Waxman in proposing his imaginative notion of the unity of intuition involves an appeal to receptivity as such a transcendental condition. In this response to Eberhard Kant argues that the original possibility of receptivity is what is innate. This would be a notion of receptivity quite distinct from the empirical capacity to be affected by objects. This innate ground is the receptivity of the mind to have a relationship to appearances at all.
