Clarity
Clarity is the exact and comprehensible naming of something. Colloquially, the term also stands for the acoustic intelligibility of the spoken language ( clear pronunciation ).
With Kant
Immanuel Kant distinguishes between two forms: On the one hand, “discursive clarity” stands for a logically complete, unambiguous and thus sufficient definition, according to Kant, “clarity through concepts”. However, it is not necessarily intuitive and may be difficult to understand subjectively. The lack of vision can therefore lead to misunderstandings. The description is nevertheless correct, since with the discursive clarity an object is described logically unambiguously.
There is also the "intuitive clarity". It relates to the enlightenment and clarity through perception . The intuitive clarity can be increased through examples and repetitions (redundant descriptions). Since perception is made possible through sensuality, Kant also describes this form as "aesthetic clarity".
