ARIAS - ALBISU, Martín. The Objective Conception of Substance in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Estud.filos [online]. 2011, n.44, pp.7-7. ISSN 0121-3628.

The aim of this paper is to examine a duality in the objective conception of substance in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. With this purpose in mind, I analyze the transcendental schema of the category of substance and accident. My hypothesis is that two different conceptions of substance can be distinguished in the Kantian text. On the one hand, substances₁ are the relatively permanent objects of everyday experience. On the other hand, substance₂ is the absolutely permanent matter of which substances₁ are made. Since substances₁ are accidents or ways of existing of substance₂, both conceptions are part of a coherent theory.

Palabras clave : Kant; Transcendental philosophy; Substance; Duality; Transcendental schema.
