Yes We Kant


Suppose one omits from the experience of love 
Everything derived from experience

Space remains in the absence of bodies
Space remains from the concept of body

What is left over after all omission
Is what we derive from our cognition

What is thought in the predicate of the judgment
Is already thought in the subject

Suppose one thinks of the number 33
(Ha ha how new-testamently biblical
How?)

What is the unknown X that connects us? 

What synthetic judgment—
No appeal to experience—
Factors our sum?

Space remains in the absence
Space is the form of intuition
We intuit our absent bodies
Yours and mine

Time is the form of all intuitions

The absence of space 
Cannot be presented
What method of looking
What transcendental aesthetic
Would allow us to see such absence?

Space is an infinite given magnitude
Having its parts within itself
Not having infinitely many instances

The predicate amplifies the subject
The subject amplifies the predicate

You are the predicate and I the subject
I am the predicate and you the subject

How shall we measure
The space between us?

How shall we measure
What resides in the subject
What resides in the predicate?

We could say that our love
Resides in the space of a priori concepts

Space is the form of intuition
Time is the form of intuition

Time is prior to the placement of objects
In time

Time precedes our bodies in space
Space limits our bodies in time

Things and beings in themselves 
Are not temporal our love
Is however temporal

Time is a condition 
For the reality of all appearances

Our love is not an appearance
Is our love not an appearance?

We intuit our own minds passively
Receiving successive mental states in time
Thus we intuit  the form of our love

Our love is a logic of pure thoughts
Our love is transcendental
