Throughout our examination of Heidegger's interpretation of Kant, we have seen how Heidegger has attempted to prove his thesis that the root of our faculties is the transcendental imagination. Heidegger claims that this thesis is found implicitly in Kant, although Kant shrank back from its implications, and did not work out the theory in any detail. Heidegger sees his task as that of drawing out this thesis from Kant's text, developing it and showing its superiority to Kant's more explicit claim that we have two entirely distinct faculties of receptivity and spontaneity.
