Hello,
I too, like you, had a clouded mind regarding the message Kant wanted to mediate with his Critique for Pure Reason prior to the seminar. But your reasoning shows that a week spent wondering and pondering at the lecture and seminar gave you a better understanding of the texts. That space and time comes inherently to each person does seem obvious and in line with Kant's reasoning. But an interesting thought to debate this with is: imagine an infant child being held in solitude from any outer stimuli, culture or upbringing, would this child still gain the same perception of space and time? Would the child learn to walk (a question we discussed during our seminar) or what skills would s/he develop? Would s/he inherit the same skills as any other child or would it differ due to the complete separation?
