Philosophy suffers from an far more than convoluted introspection. One result's that strategies multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable factors will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically decided. one other problem of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, frequently unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no development is made towards any type of consensus.

Whilst Kant states in the Metaphysical Deduction that the same understanding, by means of the same acts, produces a unity both in intuition Synthesis and Intuition 19 and in judgment, he also elsewhere suggests that the unity of intuition is not a product of the concepts of understanding but rather of a synthesis that precedes all concepts. So how can there be a synthesis, prior to conceptuality, carried out by the understanding that produces unity in intuition when the unity of judgment, said to be carried out by the understanding, by means of the same acts of understanding, clearly involves concepts?
This problem of the unification of intuition concerns the connection between the synthesis that unites intuition and the possibility of unification in judgment given that the former is both pre-conceptual and yet an act of the understanding. Is receptivity a transcendental condition? The interpretation of Sellars took its cue from a notion of “sheer receptivity” that was presented as a transcendental condition for concepts to connect with something beyond themselves, a condition Sellars 18 Kant’s Transcendental Imagination describes as “guidedness”.
In such a situation we cannot say that the experience is not what the statement is concerned with but we can say that the experience is not itself an instance of the pain we are describing. Hence the experience is not as a whole characterized by the pain, we are stating it was an occasion of. 10 It seems necessary to suggest that instead of thinking of the experience as the case of pain the experience regarded as a situation be so thought. This requires us to attempt an investigation of what would be meant by this reference to situations.
