 One striking consequence of Cohen’s conception of pure thinking is something he is at pains to emphasize, namely, a decisive break with Kant on a point central to Kant’s system. In the Logic, Cohen rejects Kant’s view that (in human knowledge) there is a faculty of sensible intuition that is independent of the faculty of understanding. In effect, Cohen now decisively rejects Kant’s claim that sensible intuition is the capacity that immediately relates objects to the knower (Kant 1781/1787 [1998], A19/B33). From Cohen’s perspective, that view is now unacceptable, because it posits a faculty of sensibility that is forever external to pure thinking, and thus forever given or unexplained. Further, since on Cohen’s view a philosophical account of knowledge does not appeal to an independent faculty of sensible intuition, Cohen insists that the project he had previously called the “critique of knowledge” now becomes the “logic of pure knowledge.” (Cohen’s view in the Logic appears somewhat similar to so-called “conceptualist” interpretations of Kant in the contemporary Kant literature. [For example, Longuenesse 1998, Ch. 8 and Friedman 2012.] So how radically one thinks Cohen’s Logic breaks with Kant will depend on one’s views of the conceptualist interpretation of Kant. I leave it as an open question how much Cohen’s views in the Logic differ from the conceptualist interpretation of Kant.)
