The aim of this paper is to examine a duality in the objective conception of substance in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. With this purpose in mind, I analyze the transcendental schema of the category of substance and accident. My hypothesis is that two different conceptions of substance can be distinguished in the Kantian text. On the one hand, substances1 are the relatively permanent objects of everyday experience. On the other hand, substance2 is the absolutely permanent matter of which substances1 are made. Since substances1 are accidents or ways of existing of substance2, both conceptions are part of a coherent theory.
