    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The intuition of time and space is not a phantasm derived from repeated experience
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Experience must be conceived as dependent on intuition of time and space, not the reverse
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The properties of time and space are known a priori in intuition
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Hume's bundle theory shows that what we call 'intuition of time' is reducible to the experienced succession of distinct perceptual impressions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If temporal ordering were independent of experience, subjects deprived of sensory input would retain full temporal intuition, but empirical evidence from isolation studies contradicts this.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The Kantian claim that experience presupposes temporal intuition conflates the logical conditions for describing experience with the causal origins of temporal concepts in the mind.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Spatial concepts like 'between' and 'distance' are acquired through repeated sensorimotor interactions with objects, as Piaget's developmental studies demonstrate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If spatial intuition were truly a priori, all humans would share identical geometric intuitions, yet non-Euclidean geometries are cognitively accessible and culturally variable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    This intuition is not some phantasm derived from repeated experience; rather, it is something independent of experience, and to such an extent that experience must in fact be conceived as dependent on it, since the properties of time and space, as they are known a priori in intuition, apply to all experience as laws that it must always come out in accordance with.
