I. Kant on space and time in the context of the development of the idea of spiritual substance of self consciousness

Abstract

The article examines Kant's teaching about space and time (of course, together with Fichte's teaching about the absolute "I") in the context of the formation and development of the spiritual "substance" of self-consciousness. By the latter, the authors understand the social and moral memory of a person, people, or nation. The paper analyzes Kant's teaching about time and space as mediating links connecting the world of phenomena and noumens; it examines the ideas of Kant and Fichte, which is ultimately aimed at identifying the content, heuristic side of the idea of "self-consciousness". The paper examines the relevance of Kant's doctrine of time, which is creatively productive for the analysis of spiritual and socio-cultural processes of the modern era. It is concluded that social and human memory is a certain ability to tie the concepts of "spiritual" and "time" in one knot, which is important for understanding the picture of the modern era.
