In multiple parts of the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant describes how time is dependent on space – which is the fundament of his distinction between inner and outer sense. However, he does not provide us with an argument for this dependency. In this article, two reasons for this dependency thesis are introduced. The first one aims at providing a conceptual link between time and space but runs into conflict with the Transcendental Aesthetic. The second one shifts our focus from the conceptual level to a priori possible objects of experience: Time cannot provide such objects, which are different from our subjective states due to its one-dimensionality. Only space makes such objects possible.

康德的时空不对称：纯粹的时间对象是否可能？

在多个地区纯粹理性批判，康德描述了时间如何依赖于空间——这是他区分内在和外在感觉的基础。但是，他没有为我们提供这种依赖性的论据。在这篇文章中，介绍了这个依赖论题的两个原因。第一个旨在提供时间和空间之间的概念联系，但与先验美学相冲突。第二个将我们的注意力从概念层面转移到先验的可能经验对象：时间不能提供这样的对象，由于其一维性，它们与我们的主观状态不同。只有空间才能使这样的物体成为可能。
