Then, the question, is irrelevant in Transcendental philosophy?
December 11, 2023 at 18:31
Seeing is not a property for space. Space has a few properties based on physics, but visibility is not one of them.

A resolute agreement :up:
December 10, 2023 at 17:19
:up: In the preface CPR, Kant sounds like he is on duty to reinstate Metaphysics as the queen of all Science. Kant's Space in TI of CPR is intuited pu...
December 10, 2023 at 16:24
Yup, I read that Kant has been taken seriously by the current scientists especially, because his idea on Space and Time is not just for empirical real...
December 10, 2023 at 13:45
If Kant's view on space and time was only pure intuitions, and there is no physical space and time as such, then he wouldn't have been taken seriously...
December 10, 2023 at 13:28
Did he not oppose to both rationalism and empiricism? He wanted to combine the two schools, saying that both rationalism and empiricism lack in cohere...
December 10, 2023 at 12:33
Kant wrote CPR in order to investigate on Reason, and make secure footing for Metaphysics as Science. So he wasn't quite interested in idealism or rea...

Great summary :up:
December 10, 2023 at 12:10
:up: So your view is also for Kant's space and time as both empirical reality and pure intuitions too. :up: Any idea why he had to go that way in CPR?
December 09, 2023 at 15:01
Kant mentions dichotomy of the types of knowledge, experience and the world in CPR i.e. a priori / a posteriori, analytic / synthetic, phenomenon / no...

I try not to 100% rely on or accept the internet sites information even SEP (because even SEP they don't have various different commentaries on the sa...
December 09, 2023 at 09:48
I am not sure if anyone claims that space is internal intuition or categories, then whether he could be qualified as a realist. Shouldn't he be an ide...
December 08, 2023 at 20:39
Sounds like a nice place. Never been there, so afraid it is a place of imagination for me. If you are an idealist, then none of your claims can be ref...
December 08, 2023 at 20:37
Wow cool ~ :cool: It might be the case that the state of altered consciousness might see space better actually.
December 08, 2023 at 00:22
Was just responding to your questions and objections. :D If you want to know further on how to see physical space, here is a video. https://www.youtub...

If you are in space where it is not purely empty, then there would be all the molecules and dusts of tiny sizes will be floating in the space. If you ...

I have a plain 1950s HB copy of NKSmith CPR. It feels nice, and vintage. But I am not sure if the translation is best compared to the others. I see sp...
December 07, 2023 at 22:54
I am not getting your point why you cannot see space when seeing a tree. Tree is occupying the space it is standing. Without space, existence is impos...
December 07, 2023 at 21:33
We are talking Kant's CPR here. You cannot perceive a tree without space around it. It is not about precedence, but it is about different type of perc...
December 07, 2023 at 19:06
Here is another quote from CPR in JMDM version. "For example, the proposition, 'All objects are beside each other in space,' is valid only under the l...
December 07, 2023 at 18:19
Space in Transcendental Ideality case is for doing Geometry, and visualising a postbox in mind. In that case, it is in the form of a pure intuition. B...
December 07, 2023 at 17:33
In NKS version he makes it in italics, "We assert, then, the empirical reality of space, as regards all possible outer experience;" He was not just sa...
December 07, 2023 at 16:55
I am not sure why we are now looking into space for thing-in-itself, when we have been talking about space for the objects in the empirical reality. I...
December 07, 2023 at 15:42
I am not sure on other cases, but I am only commenting on your case, because your claim was found to be groundless. Indeed it is pointless to dip into...
December 07, 2023 at 15:29
No. I think there are fallacies in your claims.
December 07, 2023 at 14:28
Kant had been clear about this point in the quotes. He "asserts space as Empirical Reality " for perceptions via sensibility. He then goes on making p...
December 07, 2023 at 14:26
We call it a nonsense. You can begin wherever you like, but if anyone will agree with you is another matter. No one is quibbling about how or what you...
December 07, 2023 at 14:15
What Kant was saying is not that obscure in the quotes of CPR on this issue. It is very clear for everyone. I was just giving examples of perception h...
December 07, 2023 at 13:07
You insist that this is a thread for Kant's CPR reading, but you are not even accepting what Kant was saying in CPR in plain English (translated of co...
December 07, 2023 at 12:48
Now you are being an extreme sophist.
December 07, 2023 at 12:44
Well if you are talking 100% from your subjectivity only, then you cannot communicate with anyone apart from you. We are searching for some degree of ...
December 07, 2023 at 12:43
If you see empty bucket, then the bucket and space in and outside of it are all outside of you. But if you imagine or visualise empty bucket, then the...
December 07, 2023 at 12:40
Was just pointing out, what you claim as Real in your perception might be Unreal. Due to the nature of our sense organs, we sometimes perceive Unreal ...
December 07, 2023 at 11:03
How can you imagine a flying elephant without seeing it? Your point was that either you were seeing or imagining a flying elephant, and it is REAL. My...
December 07, 2023 at 10:54
I read the other translation copies of CPR, and they all seem to be saying the same thing. When you are seeing a tree in the garden, that is perceptio...
December 07, 2023 at 10:41
There are more quotes from CPR suggesting that Kant had the dual perspectives on the concept of Space. By the way, this quote is not from the antinomy...

"It will be evident that what we here desire to say is that empty space, so far as it is limited by appearances, that is, empty space within the world...
December 06, 2023 at 18:55
Reason deals with both aspect of space as implied in Antinomy of Pure Reason in CPR. Wouldn't it be better reading between the lines at times where it...
December 06, 2023 at 18:20
Presupposition is condition, not to deduce. Yes, isn't it what exactly Kant was pointing out? Space is a necessary precondition for appearance of obje...
December 06, 2023 at 17:36
That sounds like psychological not epistemological. :nerd:
December 06, 2023 at 17:05
That is not the only thing Kant was writing about. He wrote about wide variety of topics. If Real is taken to be existence, then it relates to the pro...
December 06, 2023 at 17:00
Sorry I thought you were claiming that space is incomprehensible. Were we not talking about perception of space? My point was that you cannot perceive...
December 06, 2023 at 16:55
For me, I also can see a flying elephant, when I try to imagine one in my mind. It does have a pair of wings, and flies above the clouds like a hang g...
December 06, 2023 at 16:33
Suffering sounds like from "illness" or "pain". No. You were having a groundless belief, and your reason confirmed it as a groundless belief.
December 06, 2023 at 16:22
If space is incomprehensible / impossible to perceive, then how is it possible to perceive the objects in it? Isn't perception of space necessarily de...
December 06, 2023 at 15:55
Ehyyyy - I was not asking about Perception, but Perception of space.
December 06, 2023 at 15:47
It appears that you were trying to clarify the concept of real before giving out more of your answers, but unfortunately you were interrupted by . I t...

What are the differences on PERCEPTION of space and SPACE?
