Synthesis and Intentional Objectivity

The examination focuses on the philosophical concepts of Kant and Husserl, particularly the idea of Anschauung, which relates to the visual aspect of knowledge. While both philosophers acknowledge this concept, Kant views it as a foundational element of cognition rather than its pinnacle, associating it with sensuality and reception. In his framework, pure reason interacts with data through understanding, positioning Anschauung as a precursor to thought and emphasizing the synthesis of reception and spontaneity in the pursuit of knowledge.
