 On this view, far from being separate from and opposed to thinking as they seem to be in the first Critique, space and time, as the forms of intuition, are originary thought-acts that make possible the determination of any object whatsoever. They are hypothesized, synthetic manifolds, or—more precisely—unified, ordered manifolds of points or “positions” (Stellen) into which any object must first be integrated if it is to undergo any further determination as to quantity, quality, etc. (Natorp 1912c: 203; 1887: 280. Cf. esp. 1911e: 76–77; PI, 159, ff; 366, ff.). Thus, only in virtue of these various synthetic procedures of progressive determination, which Natorp calls “objectivation” (i.e., object-formation), can a phenomenon even appear. But how does it appear? Since intuition and thinking are being analyzed here entirely at the “functional” level, the phenomenon evidently does not appear as a sensible object, i.e., one that may be assigned a unique set of spatio-temporal loci, and that then may serve as a carrier (Träger) of all further determinations of quality, quantity, or relation.
