The discussions on the nature of space can be traced back to ancient times. On the other hand, at the end of his analysis of Newton and Leibniz’s arguments on the nature of space and time, Kant called them as pure forms of intuition, which is one of the milestones in the history of philosophy. Pursuant to his analysis, Kant shapes his own philosophy of space and geometry. Determining space and time as pure forms of intuition is an important part of what is called “Copernican Revolution”. In this context, first I examine the claims made by Newton and Leibniz on the nature of space. Then, I will present my analysis as to how Kant was affected by his reading of Newton-Leibniz correspondence. Lastly, I will locate Carl F. Gauss, who is among the most influential mathematicians, within the context of discussions on the nature of space and geometry. At the end of the analysis, it will be seen that comparing Gauss and Kant in the context of the nature and geometry would result in more similarities and differences claimed.</p> |
