Time And Space
Kant arguesin here, are pure intuitions of our faculty of sensibility, and concepts of physics such as causation and inertia are pure intuitions of our faculty of understanding. Supposely our Sensory experience only makes sense because our faculty of sensibility processes it. How do we do that? is by organizing it according to our intuitions of time and space. These intuitions are the source of mathematics. Our number sense comes from moments in time, and geometry comes from our intuition of space. Events that take place in space and time would still be a meaningless if it were not for our faculty of understanding, which organizes experience according to the concepts, like causation, which form the principles of natural science.
