MATTER
[A20/B34] Distinguished by Kant from form; associated with bodies and physical objects. In the Aesthetic, Kant defines matter as "that in the appearance which corresponds to sensation [i.e., the effect of an object upon the faculty of sensibility, which yields intuitions] I term its matter"; form is "that which so determines the manifold of appearance that it allows of being ordered in certain relations".
