Summary/Abstract: The ­article ­is ­an­ attempt ­at critically ­analysing­ the ­conceptual­ content ­of ­perception ­in ­Immanuel ­Kant’s transcendental philosophy.­ The ­author ­claims­ that ­unity ­as ­the ­feature ­of ­forms ­of ­intuition ­is ­closely ­related­ to unity ­as ­the ­category of ­the­ intellect ­and ­as ­such ­with ­the ­uniting ­synthesis ­of ­apperception. The­ author­ also claims­ that defending ­the ­non­‐conceptual ­content ­may ­result ­in losing ­the essence ­of ­Kant’s ­identification­ of empirical ­realism ­with ­transcendental­ idealism.­ Kant’s conceptualism ­leads ­to ­the ­thesis ­that­ non‐­conceptual content­ is ­only ­abstracted ­from the context ­of ­perception ­and ­may ­be­ treated­ as ­an ­object ­of ­thinking, ­but ­not as ­an ­object ­of perceiving.
