- In Kant's philosophy, a category is a pure concept of the understanding. A Kantian category is a characteristic of the appearance of any object in general, before it has been experienced. Kant wrote that "They are concepts of an object in general…." [1] Kant also wrote that, "…pure cоncepts [Categories] of the undеrstanding…apply to objects of intuition in general…." [2] Such a category is not a classificatory division, as the word is commonly used. It is, instead, the condition of the possibility of objects in general, [3] that is, objects as such, any and all objects, not specific objects in particular.
