Hello all,
I will try and start off the question assignment:
1) How does the imagination link the faculties of sensibility and the understanding?
2) What is the difference between an appearance and a representation? I keep thinking I have this straightened out and then I get confused again.
3) Is there a definite and certain number of derivative concepts for Kant? And if so, why does he decline to actually enumerate them?
4) If we can only cognize ourselves as appearances of the inner sense, how does the self act as a synthetic unity for all experience?
5) Does the use of the apperception as a means of unity for our experience open Kant up to a solipsism?

2. From how I understand it, an appearance is an actual object as far as it exists within space and time. A representation is that object as perceived by the subject, within intuition. So an appearance is physical, or at least what sensation determines as physical, while a representation is conceptual, or what is processed by our understanding and imagination.
