ABSTRACT
Kant’s treatment of time focused on its function in structuring the appearance of nature. This approach de-emphasizes difficulties concerning the dynamic aspect of time, temporal becoming. Kant recognized such difficulties in his reluctance to represent time by a geometric line. Yet he still thought that time itself does not change.1 He saw clearly that temporal moments succeed one another, but he did not acknowledge the internal dynamism of these moments or examine the dynamic aspects of temporal succession. Recognition of the importance of temporal passage arises with criticism of the Kantian distinction between noumena and phenomena.
