The significance of the transcendental object in understanding objects and their representations

In this podcast episode, the speaker delves into the importance of the transcendental object in our understanding of objects and their representations. It is emphasized that the experience of objects is only possible through the concept of an object, which combines both sensibility and conceptualization. The distinction between objects and their representations is discussed, highlighting that they are judgemental rather than distinct in an external sense. The speaker argues that the transcendental object plays a subtle yet vital role in moving towards objectivity. Furthermore, the concept of an object, understood as something in general, allows for the correlation between representations of objects. The existence of the transcendental object is explained as necessary for the connection and unification of appearances and subjective consciousness.
