康德关于直观和概念的区分

Kant's Distinction between Intuition and Concept

直观和概念是两种不同的先天认识形式。二者截然不同,但惟有结合起来才形成知识,由此给康德的认识论带来了难题。康德对二者的区分实际上是对西方哲学史上关于感觉和理智的区分的一种自觉继承,但采取了一种新的形式。完整理解这两个概念及其关系,对于深刻把握康德在认识论上的变革及其理论困境是十分必要的。

Intuition and Concept are distinguished two different forms of a priori cognition by Kant in his Critique of Pure reason. According to Kant, we receive the object through the former, and we think the object through the latter. On the one hand, Kant insists on distinguishing them strictly, and on the other, he insists that the combination of intuition and concept is needed in cognition process, As a result he wrestles with the question on the theory. The distinction of intuition and concept naturally inherits the distinction between sense and understanding of the history of western philosophy, but Kant proposed a new form. It is absolutely necessary for us to have an overall understanding of the two concepts, so as to understand the reformation and difficulties of Kant in epistemology deeply.
