ABSTRACT

The space and time of perception are limited, sensibly continuous, and consist of a quantitative element together with a qualitative character dependent on relation to the and of immediate individual feeling. The problems which arise for the metaphysician from the fact that the physical order, as it is presented to our senses, consists of elements having position in space and time, are among the oldest and most perplexing of all the riddles suggested by the course of our experience. The problem thus presented for solution is often, and usually with special reference to the Kantian treatment of space and time in the Transcendental Aisthetic put in the form of the question whether space and time are subjective or objective. Synthesis is ultimately by the active movements of individual percipients that the synthesis of the individual’s various perceptual spaces into one is effected.
