In this paper, I wish to offer a new theoretical solution to the issue raised by the Kantian transcendental scheme concerning the connection between the sensible manifold and the unity of the concept.

Abstract

In this paper, I wish to offer a new theoretical solution to the issue raised by the Kantian transcendental scheme concerning the connection between the sensible manifold and the unity of the concept. To do this, I intersect Frege’s notion of sense [Sinn] as distinct from meaning [Bedeu- tung], with Morris’ semiotics and his idea of the “sign vehicle” (Morris 1938 a, 1946), and with Maddalena’s theory of gesture (Maddalena 2015). The paper will be developed as follows: I expose the core passages of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason on transcendental schematism; then I refer to Frege’s distinction between sense and meaning, Morris’ notion of “sign vehicle” and Maddalena’s theory of gesture. I use them for developing the last part the argument in favour of the notion of gesture as a dynamic sign vehicle bringing the sense to sign, and for suggesting the possibility of working out a quasi-transcendental semiotics.
