Phil 202 1st Edition Lecture 18 Outline of Last Lecture I. Conditions for Metaphysics as a ScienceII. Synthetic A priori vs. Analytic A prioriIII. Concepts vs. IntuitionsOutline of Current Lecture I. Intuition and the Synthetic A prioriII. Space and TimeIII. Identifying KantCurrent LectureI. Intuition and the Synthetic A priori- Reminder: Synthetic a priori judgements make metaphysics possible. Math uses these judgements.- Math has intuition.- Intuition is singular and immediate. (and sensible)- Conditions for metaphysics: spontaneity- Form vs. Matter:o Concepts are forms of thought/intuition Deals with sensible relation of worldo We have a special form of intuition that precedes the perceived object. We would not see things the way we do if we didn’t already have an organized a priori structure of things.II.

GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.o Space : is not a concept. It is not 3 – dimensional. In space, we construct things and create concepts. It is a form of experience we can use to establish movement and shape.- Qualities of Space1) Not an empirical concept – idea of space comes first2) A necessary experience that cannot be thought away3) Not universal with particulars4) Just a block given all at once (intuitive)III.
