Document Summary

Space and time are empirically real and transcendentally ideal. The latter insofar as space and time are part of the structure of our cognition in terms of which any possible object of experience is given to us. So every possible/ actual object of experience is given to us in space and time. Kant"s thesis also includes the fact that spatiotemporal relations are not inherent properties of the things given to us in intuition; they are part of the structure of our mode of cognition. I can change the spacial or temporal properties of an object without changing the properties of the object because the spacial and temporal properties of an object belong to our own intuition, not the object. Transcendental in the sense that it precedes and makes possible anything being given. Insofar as space and time are our conditions for the possibility of anything given to us, anything given to us wi% be situated in space and time.
