ABSTRACT
The Kantian transcendental subject unifies the manifold of intuitions through a priori synthetic judgments whose necessity and universality would have been proven within the Critique of pure reason. To avoid both dogmatic rationalism and skeptical empiricism, Kant restated the terms of the problem by evaluating representations with respect to lawfulness rather than correspondence. One of the most striking attacks against Kant was professor Schulze's, who published anonymously a dialogue titled Aenesidemus after the Greek skeptic. Within the context of logical empiricism, Wilfrid Sellars' effort can be compared to Fichte's attempt to provide Kantian a priori synthetic judgments with a non-dogmatic necessity. Considering the matter of intuition as an ideal content, or a conceptually supposed entity, which is recategorized under the form of sense-data, enables the philosopher to avoid the problem of the "quid juris" referring to the application of a conceptual form to sensible matter.
