KANT’S DISTINCTION BETWEEN INTUITIONS AND CONCEPTS AS TYPES OF REPRSENTATIONS
Repre sentations (Vorstellungeng) for Kant’s are ways in which something can be present or placed (stellt) before (vor) a subject. The subject can take herself as placed before something singular, a “this,” or “that,” “here,” and “now” and take it as an instance of something general, say a stone or house.
