On one side Kant emptied out reason and subjectivity of all substantial content, but only to ground it on a stable transhistorical foundation of existing forms that he took as given (only waiting to be discovered by critical introspection). The problem with Kantian formalism is not that it is “empty,” that it lacks content or filling, but rather the converse: by taking specific forms to be transcendentally or transhistorically given, Kant is not formalist enough. He did not raise the question of the very constitution of the forms he claims to have excavated: he ultimately took them as a given. The perennial question whether Kant’s table of categories is complete or not is a symptom of this. He substantialized the form of form itself and thereby filled it with content—or rather, he collapsed the difference between form and content by turning form itself into its own content.16
