    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Neural and phenomenological evidence suggests representing space involves spatially organized brain processes that partly constitute the act itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the act of spatial representing is physically realized in extended, spatially structured systems, the act cannot be cleanly separated from spatiality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Merleau-Ponty's embodied cognition tradition establishes that perceptual acts are always already situated in and structured by bodily spatial orientation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Kant's transcendental aesthetic holds that space is a pure form of intuition that conditions all outer experience, including the very act of representing spatial objects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If space is a precondition for any outer representation rather than merely its content, the act of spatial representing cannot intelligibly be called non-spatial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The act of representing must precede what is represented
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.What precedes spatio-temporal relations cannot itself exhibit those relations
      ?
