CHAPTER

Kant's Transcendental Aspect of Space and Time

Kant says we don't learn about space and time empirically as if by coming into contact with a bunch of extended objects in space that endure through time. We gradually just kind of come to abstract these ideas of space and time he says know that they're pre-installed right which is to say they're transcendental. In our spatial and temporal intuition there's something far more cosmic going on than what Kant believed for Kant right space and time or something provided by the subject. Whitehead takes up Kant's philosophy and expands it in some ways cosmologizes it is what Kant thought was only true of human subjects Whitehead says is true of subjects in a much more general sense.
