Time and Space

it is said that time and space are criterions for phenomena, and phenomena are basis for all dialectic axioms. and thus, time and space are necessary limitations for all things. this, of course, comes from Kant's transcendental idealism in his book Critique of Pure Reason.

yet i do not agree. there are things that cannot be bound by space and time. spirit and thoughts, affections and loyalty, values and justice.. these things transcend time and space, and would exist independent of phenomenal abstractions. the reason is simple: these "things" preceed logic and are axioms in themselves. it is with these tools and precognitions that man make judgments and dialectic syntheses. like time and space, these qualities of reality exist prenatally. and along with them and space, these qualities are used and exercised for daily phenomenal abstractions. another way to look at it is that these qualities are measurements and precepts and not phenomena, and are hence not available for abstraction.

and so it is. time and space can only limit phenomena, but not spirits and love. never, little baby.
