This paper discusses ways in which Kant's characterization of natural number in the Critique of Pure Reason could be made precise. The proposal is that natural numbers are functional entities which are best expressed in first order logic augmented by the lambda calculus. In reaching this view, an analysis of Frege's views on natural number in Die Grundlagen der Arithmetik (The Foundations of Arithmetic) is provided
