ORONO, Matías. Kantian Formal Intuition as a Result of Cooperation between Sensibility and Understanding. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2022, n.62, pp.97-120.  Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v62i0.1623.

The main purpose of this article is to offer an interpretation of the Kantian notion of formal intuition, which admits an analytical distinction from the concept of form of intuition. I hold that formal intuition is the result of the intersection between sensibility and understanding as mutually irreducible faculties. In this way, the necessary cooperation between faculties is emphasized. The radical heterogeneity between the sensible contribution and the intellectual contribution is also indicated. This interpretation allows to take distance from strongly conceptualist interpretations (which reduce the sensible unity to the unity of understanding) and from non-conceptualist readings (which consider that the sensible unity does not imply the activity of the understanding).
