Abstract
This essay is an impartial attempt at fencing with Kant’s transcendental aesthetical doctrine of space and time against some well known types of criticism. By saying “impartial”, I mean only that one of my aims here will be a proper estimation of the relevance of the critical arguments involved, and not a purposeful commitment with some philosophical viewpoint, be it Kantian, or not.
