Introduction

Intuition relates our knowledge to objects.

An intuition can take place if an object affects the mind in a certain way.

Sensibility is the capacity for receiving representations through objects.

• This then gives us intuition.
• Intution creates thoughts which form ideas.

Sensation is the object’s effect on the faculty of representation.

Empirical intuition is the intuition which relates to an object through sensation.

Phenomenon is the undetermined object of an empirical intuition.

Matter is the phenomenon that corresponds to the sensation.

Form is the arrangement of the content of the phenomenon under certain relations.

But that in which our sensations are merely arranged, and by which they are susceptible of assuming a certain form, cannot be itself sensation.

Matter is from sensory perceptions.

The form must lie ready within-the-mind for the matter that will come into the mind.

Pure representations are those that are not from physical sensation.

The mind has pure forms* of sensuous passive-knowings.

• The manifold content of the phenomenal world is arranged and viewed under certain relations through these forms.

Pure [Abstract] intuition is this pure [astract] form of sensibility.

I see a body which is represented to my mind as matter.

From that representation, I remove all its:

• abstract properties as substance, force, divisibility, etc.
• physical properties as impenetrability, hardness, colour, etc.

Its size and shape is left.* These belong to pure intuition, which exists within-the-mind, as a mere form of sensibility, and without any real object of the senses or any sensation.

Transcendental aesthetic* is the science of all the principles of within-the-mind sensibility.

• It is the first part of the Transcendental Doctrine of elements which is opposite of Transcendental logic which is the principles of pure [anstract] thought.
