This study is based on the sympathy of Kant's position and takes Kant's doctrine of time and space as the research topic.Kant's view of time and space is the result of his long-term reflection on the metaphysical basis of the natural sciences in the precritic period.It is this result that made Copernican Turn become possible,thus providing both scientific possibilities and moral possibilities.The theoretical basis has become the key to the establishment of critical philosophy.Kant believes that time and space are pure forms of transcendental sensibility.They are stripped of all empirical material factors.This overly abstract formal feature is easily criticized.Criticism generally involves the following five aspects: First,Kant asserts the spatiotemporal representation was given innately before the experience.This argument is based on his rebuttal argument against the empiricist's view of time and space.However,whether the argument of time and space is congenital or empirical has not disappeared because of Kant's argument.Kant's argument is still questioned today.Secondly,Kant's perceptual theory of perceptual theory is an infinite amount of time and space,but in “Critique of the Power of Judgment” and “The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science”,it is “infinite”.The opposite is put forward,so some scholars believe that Kant's view of time and space is inconsistent with his philosophical system;once again,Kant's interruption of sensibility theory is the inner sense,in the analytic theory,the inner sense is equivalent to the empirical sense,and the time is in the sensibility.The different natures expressed in the theory of analysis and analysis are regarded by some scholars as two kinds of time.However,Kant himself did not unify it;again,Kant's emphasis on time and space in different parts of the discussion made some scholars think that there is a problem with the relationship between time and space,and Hoffe stood in a sympathetic position to interpret Kant,in his different works,the expression of opposite meaning appeared.In the end,Kant's view of time and space was the basis of transcendental philosophy,and it was closely related to mathematics and science.It was widely concerned by mathematicians,scientists and philosophers in the post-Kant era,but In addition to mathematicians,the other two disciplines are critical to Kant.In order to respond the above five questions,the study plan to discuss these questions from three parts.The questioning of Kant's concept of time and space has shaken the theoretical foundation of Kant's critical philosophy.In view of this,the first part of this study adopts the method of combing literature,and through the theoretical background of Kant's representation of time and space,examines its development and the establishment process,and analyzes Kant's appearance of time and space.It is regarded as the innate background of the era.In this process,the essential relationship between the pre-critical period and the critical period is established by using the space-time view as a link to prove that the establishment process of Kant's representation of time and space is accompanied by reflection on mathematics and natural science.After discussing the establishment process of Kant's concept of time and space,it is necessary to further examine whether Kant's argument on the nature of time and space is established.The second part of this study is based on the transcendental sensibility of Critique of Pure Reason and the Initial Basis of Metaphysics in Natural Science.The work of the ministry to reconstruct Kant's argument for the nature of time and space mainly uses the analytical method of philosophical argumentation.In the previous work,Kant established the concept of time and space as a purely intuitive transcendental conception,and thus provided an open theoretical framework for the analysis of the scope applicability of analytic,thus providing the possibility of scientific knowledge.In the latter work,Kant explained the necessity of space for scientific knowledge through the definition of operability of the subject of natural sciences,and supplemented the argument against Newton that was neglected in the theory of sensibility.The two works highlight the role of time and space,reflecting the two themes of transcendental conception and empirical realism.This study further examines the new properties of time and space in analytic theory.In the sensibility theory,space-time representation is the form stipulator.In transcendental logic,spacetime representation is brought to transcendental logic through the role of understanding.And the new provisions that have been given to become the stipulated,the new nature of time and space seems to contradict the sensibility theory.However,it is this dual nature of form and material that enables it to assume the theoretical responsibility throughout transcendental philosophy.The relationship between time and space is not as unconscionable as some scholars think.Kant's philosophy explores the transcendental possibility of cognition through the various temporal presuppositions of consciousness in the consciousness.The metaphysics of natural science passes through matter.Through the movement of time in space to explore the objective reality of cognition,the relationship between space and time representation is not only the theoretical basis of Kant's philosophy to support empirical realism on the transcendental level,but also the empirical aspect of the various principles in transcendental philosophy.After discussing the essential attributes of Kant's space-time representation in perceptual theory and the epistemological attributes in transcendental logic,it is necessary to further consider the universal influence of Kant's thinking on the nature of time and space in contemporary mathematics,science and philosophy.To prove that Kant's view of time and space is not an old,outdated thing.In the third part,through the investigation of the criticism of Kant's time and space view by the representative figures of the three disciplines,Kant's view of time and space still has wide influence in various contemporary disciplines.The mathematicians,scientists and philosophers have a view of Kant's time and space.Criticism itself is enough to show that Kant's concept of time and space is their reflective resource and still maintains vitality.
