By analyzing Johann Heinrich Lambert&rsquo\;s objections\, but also approval of some of Kant&rsquo\;s claims\, I argue that the dichotomy of intuitive versus symbolic representation helped Kant to develop his critical view of the interdependence of rational cognition and sensible intuition. I extrapolate a taxonomy of possible kinds of representation from Kant&rsquo\;s critical writings that is meant to replace the Leibnizian stipulation of a&nbsp\;<em>cognitio symbolica&nbsp\;</em>by contrasting discursive and intuitive kinds of representation. According to Kant&rsquo\;s critical view\, symbolic representation is meant to provide epistemic access to the supersensible\, but with respect to the sensible world it should be rejected in favor of discursive\, intuitive-empirical\, and intuitive-schematic kinds of representation.</p>
