The Critique of Pure Reason, Part 8 summary

What happens

1. Time cannot exist independently or belong inherently to things, but it can precede objects as a subjective condition of intuition.
2. Inner sense orders representations temporally; a line illustrates this order, although its parts coexist while temporal parts succeed one another.
3. Space conditions only outward appearances, whereas time conditions every appearance because all representations belong to our inner state.
4. Temporal claims hold universally for objects as appearances, but not for things considered independently of our sensible intuition.
5. The argument affirms time’s empirical reality and transcendental ideality, rejecting comparisons with sensations as misleading proofs.
