THIRD SPACE. KANT’S PHENOMENAL AND RELATIVISTIC POSITION This paper shows a comparison and try to track down some points of contact between several Kantian assumptions about space and some elements from the formulation of Einstein’s Relativity. By operating a significant shift to his contemporary geometry, the young Kant believes directing as an internal property of the figure. Starting from this premise and through the famous example of incongruous opposites, the philosopher shows that the inner reason of directive diversity between hands leads to the need for a new concept of space. It will be called relative and phenomenal this third type of space that Kant aims. Related and non‐ relational because it results from the immediate relationship that a certain object has with the sides of our body. Einstein’s space exhibits not only a relative nature, but also a non‐Euclidean character having its determined geometry determined from masses and their speed, from the characters of dynamism, of discontinuity and variability. In this direction, you can find some interesting similarities with Kant.
