Kant: Metaphysical Exposition of Space

Kant: The metaphysical interpretation of space explains and evaluates the best argument Kant thinks of his "metaphysical game of space" (B 37 - 40). Things (concept of Leibnizian). In other words, he insisted that the space must be in an (at least) intuitive form. Both of his arguments suggest that the space is not a Newton or Leibniz but a mere intuition.

We may return to Leibniz 's initial explanation of time and space position criticism, which appeared before Kantt started the metaphysical space fair. He asked about the spacetime: "They just decide whether they are things, but will they belong to things even if they are not intuitive?" (A 23 / B 38). This may indicate that Kant thought Leibniz people thought that space and time had "absolute reality". Perhaps he meant that for Leibniz, space has reality that does not depend on intuition, or that space exists independently of instinct itself. But then, what does this idea explain in more detail?

Kant explains two things about space and time: metaphysics and transcendental. Metaphysical details of space and time focus on clarifying how these intuitions are known independently of experience. A priori discussion tries to show how to apply metaphysical conclusions to enrich our understanding. In transcendental discourse, Kant reminds me of his metaphysical details. If space and time are not pure transcendental instincts, science will be impossible. He asks the reader to accept the proposition "I can not put space or put numbers on two lines" and then attempts to derive this proposition from the concepts of the second and the second line. His conclusion is that it is totally impossible (A 47 - 48 / B 65)

Kant 's metaphysical exposition of the so - called spatial concept presents the first argument of transcendental aesthetics. Kant defines the concept of "explanation" as follows. "I understand what concepts are through (if not clear) detailed explanations. (A23 / B38) Through the concept of this context (Begriff), I simply want to express the form of expressions I use Kant 1. The universe is not an empirical concept derived from external experience
