Note 1117 — Chapter I · THE SCHEMATISM OF PURE CONCEPTS OF UNDERSTANDING[1103]

Kant’s other definition of the schema as “a rule for the determination of our intuition in accordance with a certain universal concept” (A 141 = B 180) is open to similar objections. When, however, Kant states that “schemata, and not images, underlie our pure sensuous concepts,” he seems to be inclining to the truer view that the schema is the concept.
