axs&ri, a leaf, tablet; but this does not appear 
in Gr. till the 13th century (MGr.), and is prob. 
a mere reflex of the L. scheda, which in turn is 
then either a false spelling, simulating a Gr. 
origin, of scida (as above), or a yar. of "schida

wood), < Gr. *<rx'dq, an unauthenticated var.

origin of the word is thus the same, in any case. 
The proper spelling of the word, according to 
the derivation from OF. cedule, is cedule (pron. 
sed'ul); the spelling scedule (pron. sed'ul) is 
an imperfect restoration of cedule, toward the 
form schedule; the spelling schedule, as taken 
from the OF. restored spelling schedule, should 
be pron. shed'ul, and was formerly written ac- 
cordingly shedule ; but being regarded, later, as 
taken directly from the LL. schedula, it is in 
America commonly pronounced sked'ul.] A

schema (ske'ma), .; pi. schemata (-ma-ta). [< 
L. schema, < Gr. ax^fta, shape, figure, form : see 
scheme.] 1. A diagram, or graphical repre- 
sentation, of certain relations of a system of 
things, without any pretense to the correct 
representation of them in other respects; in 
the Kantian philos., a product of the imagina- 
tion intermediate between an image and a con- 
cept, being intuitive, and so capable of being 
observed, like the former, and general or quasi- 
general, like the latter. 
The schema by itself is no doubt a product of the imagi- 
nation only, but as the synthesis of the imagination does 
not aim at a single intuition, but at some kind of unity 
alone in the determination of the sensibility, the schema 
ought to be distinguished from the image. Thus, if I place 
scheme 
live points, one after the other, , this is an image 
of the number five. If, on the contrary, I think of a num- 
ber in general, whether it be five or a hundred, this think- 
ing is rather the representation of a method of represent- 
ing in one image a certain quantity (for instance, a thou- 
sand) according to a certain concept, than the image it- 
self, which, in the case of a thousand, I could hardly take 
in and compare with the concept. This representation of a 
general procedure of the imagination by which a concept 
receives the image I cull the schema of such a concept.

positive, be they negative.

3. A system of schemata; a method of employ- 
ing schemata. 
We have seen that the only way in which objects can be 
given to us consists in a modification of our sensibility, 
and that pure concepts a priori must contain, besides the 
function of the understanding in the category itself, formal 
conditions a priori of sensibility (particularly of the in- 
ternal sense) which form the general condition under 
which alone the category may be applied to any object. 
We call this formal and pure condition of the sensibility, 
to which the concept of the understanding is restricted in 
its application, its schema ; and the function of the under- 
standing in these schemata, the schematism of the pure 
understanding.
