Da impossibilidade de intuições intelectuais como refutação do idealismo

Abstract

The subject of this dissertation is modest: it intends simply to show that, for Critical Philosophy, there s no place for intelectual instuitions and that, as they are peremptorially rejected, they constitute the basis of the idealism refutated by Kant - at least, in his own point of view. Consequently, dogmatism, in both its shapes - rationalism (aka empirical idealism) and radical materialism (transcendental realism) - are refutated, although not in a completely justified way yet, in the Transcendental Aesthetics of the Critique of Pure Reason, where it is demonstrated that intuitions are exclusively sensitive. The proof that there are no intelectual intuitions is also affirmative as, as we tried to reproduce, Kant proves that all intuitions are sensitive and forms of space and time. This is a fundamental course for every issue that's going to follow. We will try with all ressources to show that the categories - in the sense that are the form of every determination of an object, which also turn them into the the form of every connection (synthesis) - determine the very way of appearing of the objects in intuition, in an originary conformity with the form of the latter.
