The Importance of Space and Time in Knowledge

Kant argues that space and time are the universal forms of all intuitions, providing the framework for our experiences. Without them, we wouldn't be able to make sense of the world or organize our perceptions. By carving out units in space and time, we are able to synthesize our experiences and recognize patterns, which forms the basis of knowledge and understanding.
