Geometry

the model of knowledge

Lorenzo Magnani

pp. 27-56

We have to analyze in this chapter what is the role of Euclidean geometry in the Critique of Pure Reason. Oversimplifying things for the sake of clarity, we can, first of all describe the dynamic nature that exists between the three faculties of knowledge — sensibility, imagination, understanding.
