Kant on space and time (from in class discussions)

As for arithmetic Kant believes numbers have no meaning. Numbers can be replaced by any other symbols and as long as the pattern is known one can calculate the answer. Addition has a pattern in that it is the succession of items. Kant argues that the same operation occurs when one talks about time. Time is also the succession of items (knowing this occurred first, second, third, etc.) On the other hand, Kant argues that geometry is the relation of items and so is space. Time and space are not a posteriori but are a priori. They are pure intuitions. If time is related to arithmetic and space is related to geometry, geometry and arithmetic should also be a priori knowledge. The knowledge of space and time is definitely not analytic but rather synthetic. Having the knowledge of space and time is very informative.
