unit of measurement: indicated by some observable object that is its size. imagination’s tasks in measuring an object’s magnitude:

  • 1. apprehension of manifold of intuition.
  • 2. comprehension: representing the parts of the manifold 


and putting them together in a single intuition.

magnitude is:

  • 1. extensive: a spatial property
  • 2. measured: an activity of understanding

infinity is:

  • 1. not extensive: outside spacetime
  • 2. not measured: not understood but reasoned

idea of reason

not a concept of knowable objects: 
 e.g. soul, world, god

how can an idea…

  • 1. have sensible properties?
  • 2. be measured?

form v matter

Kant

sensation: senses matter perception: informs matter understanding: assigns concepts to the form of matter reason: assigns principles to forms

how can an idea of reason…

  • 1. have sensible properties?


it can’t; it’s not an object of perception

  • 2. be measured?


it can’t; it’s not an object of understanding

an idea of reason can only be theorised.

feeling an idea

Merleau-Ponty

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Kant: sensation: senses matter perception: informs matter understanding: assigns concepts to the form of matter reason: assigns principles to forms

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Merleau-Ponty: perception: intuits the form of matter

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Merleau-Ponty: perception: intuits forms

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Kant: matter of object → subject
 causal relation form of object ← subject
 rational relation

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Merleau-Ponty: matter of object → body of subject
 causal relation form of object ← mind of subject
 rational relation flesh of object → flesh of subject motivational relation

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Merleau-Ponty: idea of reason can be felt because form of idea motivates subject
