The Thoughts Of Kant Through Systemic Functional Linguistics [7]

Russell (1961: 681):
Space and time, Kant says, are not concepts; they are forms of 'intuition'.  (The German word is 'Anschauung', which means literally 'looking at' or 'view'.  The word 'intuition', though the accepted translation, is not altogether a satisfactory one.)

Blogger Comment:

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, 'space' and 'time' are concepts, and concepts that are expressed in wording are the meanings of language.  'Space' and 'time' are construals of experience as meaning.
