Abstract

This study explores the intersections and divergences between the conceptions of time and space by Immanuel Kant and Jean-Luc Marion. It analyzes how Kant defines these notions as pure a priori intuitions in the Critique of Pure Reason and how Marion reconsiders them in his proposal of the phenomenology of donation. The study highlights how Marion transforms the Kantian perspective, emphasizing the passivity of the “adonado” in the reception of phenomena and proposing an interactive dynamic between subject and phenomenon. The study suggests a synthesis of both approaches to understand time and space as co-constituted in a dialogue between call and response, expanding the generative capacity of subjects within a community.
