<p class="stile51">In this paper I discuss the notion of <em>transcendentalEmpfindung</em> (transcendental sensation), which plays a central role in Hölderlin's fragmentary essay <em>Wenn der Dichter einmal des Geistes mächtig ist</em>.Thenotion of <em>transcendental Empfindung</em> is introduced in this essay as a replacement for the concept of intellectual intuition, the well-known philosophical notion which represents one of the key-terms for German philosophers between XVIII and XIX century. In this paper I argue that Hölderlin, having made use of this notion for a long time in his works and philosophical writings, now rejects the intellectual intuition and find a substitute for it in the transcendental sensation <br />under the influence of a renewed reading of Kant's writings, especially Kant's <em>Critique of pure reason</em> and <em>Critique of judgement</em>.</p>
