Kant's Concept Of Time

This article investigates the concept of time of Kant on the basis of clarifying the concept of reflection.Through the clarification it discovers the meaning of concept of time as three main parts:receptivity,objectivity and modes of time constructed by the patterns of unity.Meawhile it discusses the problem of priority between time and space.It is the main content of the first part to discover reflection as a whole constituted by receptivity,objectivity and liberation.Reflection is fundamentally showing itself through revealing the limit of objectivity.The showing includes the receptivity revealed through mood and the liberation which makes the receptivity enter into the rigion of objectivity and further transcends the objectivity back to the showing.The second part deepens the investigation in the light of"I think".It mainly concerns the identity of objectivity of"I think"and discovers time as:the time of receptivity,the time of objectivity,and the modes of time constructed by the patterns of unity.It also reasons that it is the unity of category that makes the objectification of time possible.The last part sketchily describes the other possible modes of time according to the other possible patterns of unity.It is the necessary part of the systematic investigation led by the fundamental principles.However,the patterns of time are not necessarily complete by virtue of the characteristic of the refletion.
