On one reading of Kant’s account of our original representations of space and time, they are, in part, products of the understanding or imagination. On another, they are brute, sensible givens, entirely independent of the understanding. In this article, while I agree with the latter interpretation, I argue for a version of it that does more justice to the insights of the former than others currently available. I claim that Kant’s Transcendental Deduction turns on the representations of space and time as determinate, enduring particulars, whose unity is both given and a product of synthesis.

康德的先验演绎与时空统一

在阅读康德对我们对空间和时间的原始表征的描述时，它们部分是理解或想象的产物。另一方面，它们是粗野的、明智的给定，完全独立于理解。在本文中，虽然我同意后一种解释，但我主张它的一个版本比目前可用的其他版本更能体现前一种的见解。我声称康德的先验演绎将空间和时间的表征作为确定的、持久的细节，它们的统一性既是给定的，也是综合的产物。
