Immanuel Kant's Schema of object perception and cognition.

Abstract

In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant proposed a detailed system of mental processes and constructs that might lead to a person's perceiving and comprehending an object in the outside world. The diffuse and extended original, found largely impenetrable and hence neglected in most modern discourse, is here revisited and presented in an updated contemporary idiom, with the aim of showing some structure in the mental world that may serve as a counterpart to definable states of the real world when attempts are made to find correlations between the two.
