    It is not the case that A condition of possibility for experience need not share the contingent features of what it makes possible, so hetero-affection cannot contaminate transcendental autonomy.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Hetero-affection (external determination) constitutively shapes the content we experience; formal structures cannot remain untouched by this.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The distinction between 'conditions of possibility' and 'contingent features' presumes a clean separation that phenomenologically breaks down.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If transcendental autonomy requires independence from external determination, yet requires hetero-affection as a condition, the claim is self-undermining.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Transcendental conditions are formal structures enabling experience; empirical affections are material contents within experience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A mathematical axiom's validity doesn't depend on the contingent truths it helps prove; likewise for transcendental conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If autonomy requires freedom from determination, and conditions of possibility merely enable rather than determine, they preserve autonomy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
