How the Intuitions are Starting to See?

Summary/Abstract: According to Kant, cognition (Erkenntnis) arises from the union of two basic faculties of the mind – sensibility and reason. This raises the question of whether these two faculties are independent of each other and, or, if they are dependent, which faculty is the determining one. Modern interpreters of Kant offer three types of solutions, in which, respectively, views perform independent cognitive functions, knowledge is the result of relatively free combination of concepts and intuitions, or of their connection in judgments under the dictate of the categories. This article offers a recapitulation of these three models of “synthesis”. Against this background, two specific problems are examined to which Kant did not pay sufficient attention. The first concerns cognition in children and animals, the second – perception. Modern achievements in cognitive science require a critical rethinking of the theories advocated by Kant.
