KANT'S ARGUMENT IN THE THIRD ANALOGY

Kant's argument in the Third Analogy is about the simultaneous coexistence of substances in space. There are different interpretations of Kant's objective in this section of the Analogies of Experience. I reconstruct Kant's argument to demonstrate that it is about the empirical determinacy of time. For the experience of time requires also the empirical objectivity of time across space by registering the "same time" in different spatial separated locations. The Third Analogy establishes that registering the same time demands a mutual interaction or communication between substances, and it is here interpreted as involving the instantaneous configuration of substances in space.
