This is a conversation I had with two Linfield College Alums - Robin Cangie and Gad Perez - about the nature of "pure mathematics" as it's discussed in Kant's "Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics". In it, we discuss how "pure mathematics" is possible for Kant and whether or not this provides a possibility for doing Metaphysics as a science.
the statement that space and time are properties of the tings-in-themselves is most definitely wrong (we can't say nothing about those for Kant, that is the reason why the Kant-following Germ. idealism arouse)... i think you made that because of the high emotional atmosphere of the discussion at that point.
Also speaking of time/space as a distinction within/between concepts is very misleading ... in a way it's a Lockian-abstractionist way of speaking. Time/sp. are preconditions not abstractions
