Schema (Kant)

Schema (Kant)

In Kantian philosophy, a transcendental schema (plural: schemata) is the procedural rule by which a category or pure, non-empirical concept is associated with a sense impression. A private, subjective intuition is thereby discursively thought to be a representation of an external object. Transcendental schemata are supposedly produced by the imagination in relation to time.
