Epsilon between Intuition and Concept in Kant’s First Critique
This paper revisits the distinction between concept and intuition in Kant’s determination of space as pure a priori intuition, focusing on two levels of analysis. First, it examines Kant’s criteria for intuition – singularity and immediacy – across the Logic and the Critique of Pure Reason (§1, B edition, B 34). Second, it reconstructs the argument from the Metaphysical Exposition of Space (§2 of the Transcendental Aesthetic) using an analytical operator, epsilon, to reinterpret these criteria. By addressing ambiguities highlighted by K.D. Willson regarding intuition and sensibility, the paper offers an alternative response that clarifies the relationship between the criteria of intuition and Kant’s epistemological framework.
