This talk given by Dr. P. F. Strawson is a masterclass in the meaning of Kant’s relationship of perception and imagination. He begins with a discussion of the similarities of Hume and Kant’s accounts, an understanding requisite for analytic and continental philosophers alike interested in questions of sense and phenomena (and the relationship between figures like Frege, Wittgenstein, Husserl, and Heidegger). There's then a discussion of Wittgenstein’s famous “duck/rabbit” example. This talk is highly technical and may only be of interest to advanced scholars interested in the history of philosophy.
This talk was given in 1968 as part of the Annual Bishop John F. Hurst Philosophy Lectures at the American University in Washington, D.C.
