ARIAS-ALBISU, Martín. The transcendental schema of the categories of quality. Sig. Fil [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.26, pp.87-113. ISSN 1665-1324.

This paper examines some passages of the Schematism chapter in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. I offer a detailed analysis of the transcendental schema of quality. I hold that this schema is, on the one hand, a procedure of synthesis that briefly consists in the progressive intensification of a given quality from the absence of it. On the other hand, it is also the property produced by this procedure, that is, intensive magnitude. Through this analysis I outline a general interpretation of transcendental schemata.
