Abstract
Kant's metaphysics of space
periods is explored via his
in both the pre-critical and critical
relation to Leibniz, the incongruent
counterparts argument, and the distinctive arguments of the
Transcendental Aesthetic. Sequentially, Heidegger's phenomenology of
space from the period of Being and Time is explicated in terms of
concepts like deseverance, directionality, region and equipmentality.
The two analyses are found to overlap on several key points. These
include: the priority of the whole over the parts, openness, and
exteriority and thus non-discursivity.
The points of overlap we call
'spacing' . Through further analyses,
it is discovered that the
concepts of spacing are precisely the concepts required by these two
philosophers even when they treat of subjects not normally considered
essentially spacial. These subjects include the nature of temporal
relations, of selfhood and self-constancy, and of the experience and
significance of art. The importance of spacing for these subjects is
individually discussed, as are possible reasons why the language of
space should be required.
