Excerpt from The Constitutive and Regulative Principles in Kant: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Gradate Schools of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Kant at this point seems to realize that as time and number, quantity ends in abstraction and does not touch Objects. If quantity is to be a valid concept a content must be discovered for it, so a distinction must be made. Quantity is extensive quantity; and if the possibility Of experience and hence the transcendental argument is to hold good, it must be remembered that the possibility Of experience is just what makes the synthesis Of the homogeneous a quantity. This synthesis as abstract quantity is empty conception and the bare possibility. TO find a content for the synthesis we must appeal to the homogeneous in space. Generalized time formulas involve space; but the generalized synthesis is the Object as the permanent substance, hence space and time are both necessary to quantity, that is, space is the schema Of time just as time succession as number is the schema Of quantity. Time as a schema applies to Objects in only a computative sense, and provides for succession only. But the real phenomena demand their coexistence, so quantity must be schematized as space also. Quantity schematized as both time and space involves the permanent.
