Abstract
An interpretation of the Third Analogy of Experience (Kant, KrV A211/B256–A218/B265) is proposed, from which the metaphysical question referring to the relational or intrinsic character of the properties that represent physical quantities is discerned, in the context of what is called a critical ontology. It is obtained that, as a result of the a priori rules corresponding to the Analogies of Experience, the determinations of objects have a relational character. This result is consistent with the view of time and space obtained in relational formulations of certain physical theories and with relationalist approaches to time and space in the philosophy of physics.Keywords:
