    Kant's Doctrine of Schemata 

    Hunter, Joseph L. (Virginia Tech, 1999-05-13)
    The following is a study of what may be the most puzzling and yet, at the same time, most significant aspect of Kant's system: his theory of schemata. I will argue that Kant's commentators have failed to make sense of ...
