In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant characterizes space and time as both forms of intuition and formal intuitions, thus in two different though interlinked ways, which are outlined clearly but not exhaustively and contextually developed. A careful examination of these notions is nevertheless required for a better understanding of the theory of the synthesis of intuition, perception and experience. This essay explains the concepts of form of intuition and formal intuition and their relation to one other, principally in the context of the first Critique but also with respect to the development of the Kantian reflection on the a priori of sensibility up to the Opus postumum.

Keywords: Kant, aesthetics, transcendental deduction, sensibility, a priori, form of intuition, formal intuition, synthesis
