Summary/Abstract: The author examines possible analogies between Kant's transcendental idealism and de Saussure's and Levi-Straus's structuralism, in order to analyse if the former can be understood as a predecessor for the later. The author shows that both teachings assume a priori formal framework, but they diverge in the ways they describe it, as well as in un-derstanding of its function. Consequently, the author concludes that structuralism can be seen as one possible use of Kant's idea about the existence of such a frame. Furthermore, the author claims that Ricker's understanding of structu-ralism as “Kantianism without transcendental subject” should be rejected, since a teaching which does not assume existence of such subject cannot be understood as Kantian.
