    Key Terms

    Beatrice Longuenesse(as a modern Kant scholar referenced in philosophical debates)
    A contemporary philosopher specializing in Kant's philosophy, particularly his theories about how the mind structures experience.
    Sellars
    Wilfrid Sellars was an influential 20th-century American philosopher who fundamentally changed how we think about knowledge, perception, and meaning. He argued that our scientific understanding of the world and our everyday experiences of it aren't separate things but need to be brought together into one coherent picture. His ideas, particularly about how language relates to reality and how we know things, continue to shape modern philosophy.
    figurative synthesis(Kantian epistemology, Critique of Pure Reason)
    One of two types of synthesis distinguished by Kant, contrasted with intellectual synthesis; pertains to the imagination-based or sensibility-based unification of representations
    inner sense(Cited as the basis of the rival empiricist hypothesis against Kant's a priori synthesis)
