Kant’s View on Space and Time In his Critique of Pure Reason‚ Immanuel Kant wrote about the science of the transcendental aesthetic in which he argues that space and time exist as a priori intuitions in the human mind.

The more space that is controlled and influenced by the residents the less area there is for the criminal to operate in (Defensible space theory‚ 2012-2018).
