- Title
Kant's Transcendental Distinction between Sensibility and Understanding.
- Authors
MAHAFFY, J. P.
- Abstract
As Dr. Ingleby's letter cannot well be answered, except by me, will you kindly insert the following observations? I am very sorry the form of the controversy compels me to refer to myself; you will see that the point at issue concerns an important question in Kant's philosophy. He said a certain question of mine was badly worded. As a question set out of a prescribed book, he concedes it to have been accurate enough, but he still denies the precision of the statement in that book. I think he is right, and that I was guilty of an error, though by no means so grave an error as he imputes to me. But his imputation is again partly my fault, for I did not write clearly enough. Here are the words which misled him ; 'we must not confuse the empirical distinction between real object and merely subjective appearance with the transcendental distinction on which Kant's doctrine of Space and Time is based.'
