The research of the imagination in the history of western philosophy is enduring.Kant's Kritik der reinen Vernunft is a classic in the history of philosophy,which is the core content.The problem of kant's imagination is penetrating through his theory.This paper focuses on the role of Kant' s imagination in judging in synthetic a priori effect and conbed.Because imagination is a special ability with dual attributes,It is both transcendental and empiricistic,and is also spontaneous and receptive in its own right,with a special intervening character.Analyzing only one concept can not produce new knowledge.No matter what new knowledge is established,it must be built on the basis of synthetic judgement.The possibility of innate synthetic judgement must be played by imagination.Kant made a profound and detailed study of the content of imagination,after many changes.Kant discusses transcendental imagination on the basis of rationality and compares the two versions about different discourses on transcendental imagination.Concept must be related to the subject of experience on the Kant's early thought.Connected by the imagination synthesis.From the primary "the synthesis of the intuition" to the "comprehensive synthesis of imaginary " and then to the "the synthesis of the conception".In the second edition,Kant changed the description of the imagination,the connection between intellectuality and sensibility to the objective unity of self-conscious,and proposed transcendental self-consciousness in transcendental self to clarify the problem of imagination.In fact,imagination exists in the framework of purely intellectual conceptual norms.It is precisely because of the extraordinary ability of imagination to highlight the key position of imagination in Kant's philosophy,which is also an important reason that we must discuss and understand.The important influence of imagination on the post-Kantian era also helps us to better understand the context of western philosophy.
