Kant's philosophy - Sensuality and space and time as forms of intuition

The Critique of Pure Reason starts with a discussion of sensuality, our receptive faculty of cognition. And with one of Kant’s, or rather of the whole human intellectual history’s most important discoveries: Space and time don’t exist in themselves, neither as absolute receptacles of the things, nor as their objective relations to one another. Rather they are forms of our sensual viewing. We therefore can’t help but represent anything which we sense or even imagine in space and time, and in that way they are conditions of the possibility of all experience and have complete reality in regards to all things appearing to us. The things in themselves however must be thought of by us as beyond space and time, precisely because we don’t view them and space and time are just forms of our viewing. This ideality of space and time – along with the reality of freedom – is according to Kant’s own statement one of the two door hinges on which his whole philosophy hinges. Quote: 0:08 Sensuality: 0:54 The sense: 3:59 The power of imagination: 8:03 Sensation: 17:24 Digression: The absurd denial of viewing in contemporary philosophy of mind: 50:35 The subjective comes from the object, the objective from the subject: 1:21:09 Space and time as forms of viewing: 1:26:16 What the two forms of viewing, space and time, are: 1:52:21 Kant’s sympathetic conciliation between Leibniz and Newton: 2:00:57 Empirical and pure viewing: 2:19:27 How is mathematics possible?: 2:28:58 Synthetic judgments always require viewing: 2:34:46 Thanks: 2:45:11 Overiew of sensuality according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/sensuality-according-to-Kant.jpg Kant’s theory of space and time as forms of viewing can best be studied in the transcendental aesthetics of his Critique of Pure Reason: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm, which also is almost the most clear part of that work. The Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysics that will be able to present itself as a Science: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/52821/pg52821-images.html, as well as the later lectures on metaphysics also give insight into this: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0028kant/page/n7/mode/2up | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0028kant_d7g2/page/750/mode/2up. The most extensive discussion of sensuality, its parts and functions however, Kant gives in his anthropological considerations, both in his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (English translations exist but I couldn't find any free versions online) or in his lectures on anthropology (I am not aware of any English translations).
