    It is not the case that Intuition of time and space is independent of experience, not derived from it

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 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
