Abstract

Congenital the concept is the subject of one of the principle of Kant's philosophy, he will equal a priori form, this philosophy has not only become the starting point of the theory, in fact, constitute the basis for their ethics. Scheler is its critique of Kant's ethical construction of the base in his criticism of Kant on a priori concepts. This article will mainly focus on the "innate forms" and "material a priori" distinction, and focus on the initial review of Scheler's criticism of Kant's a priori concepts. The concept of the a priori is one of the principal themes in Kant's philosophy. He equated the a priori with the form, which is not only the startpoint of his philosophy of theory, but also constitutes, in fact, the foundation of his ethics. M. Scheler just based the criticism of Kant's ethics on his criticism of the concept of the a priori used by Kant. The main task of this essay is focused on the distinction of "formal a priori" and "material a priori". What is to be discussed in detail and then examined elementarily is the critique of Scheler on the concept of the a priori used by Kant.
