Time in Kant’s philosophy: An Analysis
Keywords:
Time, metaphysics, Judgment, necessity, universalityAbstract
One of the most important ideas in Kant's philosophy is the idea of time. It might be argued that Kant is the true creator of the metaphysics of time given the significance and prominence of the idea in his system of thought. This essay's goal is to support such an assertion. Anyone who reads Kant's writings—especially the 'Critique of Pure Reason'—will quickly see that his philosophy is, in fact, a philosophy of time. The 'Critique of Pure Reason' serves as the study's foundation, although other works by Kant have also been taken into consideration. Heidegger's understanding of and interpretation of Kant has some bearing on our strategy. In reality, Heidegger was the one who first understood the crucial part that time plays in Kant's philosophy. Kant establishes a two-way interaction with time. On the one hand, Kant's philosophy is built on the idea of time, but on the other, Kant's philosophy presents us with a concept of time that is entirely distinct from any philosophy that came before it. The concept itself has inspired all of Kant's philosophical theories, and Kant has altered its meaning.
