Review: Combining the Schemes

Space

•      Inextricability Argument

•      Independence Argument

•      Space as a condition for the possibility of experience of all outer sense

Aristotle on the Structure of Substance

•      Aristotle on Substance

          àSubstance = Form + Matter

•      Aristotle on Form

•      Aristotle on Matter

Kant on the Structure of Intuition

•      Intuition = form of intuition + matter of intuition

•      Matter: “That in the appearance [experience] which corresponds to sensation I term its matter” CPR-B34

•      Form: “that which so determines the manifold of appearance [experience] that it allows of being ordered in certain relations, I term the form of appearance [experience]” (CPR-B34)

Time

•      Inextricability Argument

•      Independence Argument

•      Time as a condition for the possibility of all inner (and outer) sense

Empirically Real, Transcendentally Ideal

•      Space and time are pure forms of intuition

•      CPR-B44, B51-52

•      The “subjectivity” of space and time

•      The “objectivity” of space and time

•      Primary and secondary qualities; don’t confuse space & time with these (B44)

Things Themselves

•      There is no justification for talking about space and times as things in themselves (i.e. as independent of our senses and mind)

•      There is no justification for talking about anything that is not spatially and temporally structured (i.e. things as they are independent of spatial & temporal structure)
