Definition Of:

FIGURE

Kant DictionaryKant Dictionary
[A20/B35] Along with extension, figure is what remains after "I take away from the representation of a body that which the understanding thinks in regard to it, substance, force, divisibility, etc., and likewise what belongs to sensation, impenetrability, hardness, color, etc.". Pure intuitions consist of figure and extension; they "exist in the mind of a a priori as a mere form of sensibility...even without any actual object of the senses or of sensation". Since pure representations are those "in which there is nothing that belongs to sensation", figure and extension are pure intuitions.
