Mysterious occult art - the sensation as "determinate indetermination" in Kant's transcendental schematism.

Abstract

Sensibility, understanding and apperception make

up a complex and sophisticated transcendental

mechanism in which the world is constituted. There

are two major difficulties in understanding this

mechanism: first, to explain the origin of empirical

concepts and what Kant calls schemas; and second,

to determine how these concepts relate to intuitions

on the one hand; and to the categories and activity

of the ego, on the other. The thesis that we will try

to support is that only by highlighting the

articulated nature of the impressions (first level of

synthesis - passive synthesis) is it possible to give a

coherent explanation of the cognitive process. To

do this we will propose the concepts of “chrono-

topography”, “determinate indeterminacy” and

“virtuality” as designations of the sensory field of

consciousness.
