Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠1st, an intuition such that it does not arise from, but is presupposed by the senses.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠2nd, an intuition such that you conceive all actual things as situated in time, and not as contained under the general concept of time, as under a common characteristic mark.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠3rd, an intuition, one which, since it is prior to sensation, is a pure intuition.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠4th, an intuition and a continuous magnitude, and moments of time are not parts of time 'but limits with time between them'.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠5th, not something objective and real, and is neither a substance, nor an accident, nor a relation. It is a necessary subjective condition.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠6th, not simply imaginary, but supplies the only condition under which objects of the sense can be co-ordinated.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠7th, an absolutely first formal principle of the sensible world without which our intuition of objects of sense would not be possible.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a partially analyzable concept, which is not open to a real definition, but only a nominal one.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠able to defined only nominally: That is, as an analysis of the ways in which the word 'time' could be used and not a real definition, that is, a definition of the nature of time.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an antecedent of the consciousness of representations in experience. It is the formal condition of the mode according to which objects are placed in the mind lies at the foundation of them. It contains relations of the successive, the coexistent, and the permanent.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠antecedent of the consciousness of representations in experience.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠defined such that I can say that my representations follow one another, or are successive, or, as it may be, coexistent, or permanent, but this means only that we are conscious of them as in succession, coexistent, or permanent.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠eternal time and temporal events are oriented towards it.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not a thing in itself, nor is it any objective determination pertaining to, or inherent in things.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not a thing with reality, but more like a rule which must be met in order to have reality and any kinds of phenomenon at all. If space (or the extension of things) is a necessary 'rule' for conceiving of any reality outside of my body, time concerns not only external phenomena 'out there', but also all internal acts of the mind 'in here'.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not something which subsist of itself, or which inheres in things as an objective determination. It is merely the subjective condition under which all our intuitions take place : The form of the inward intuition is represented prior to objects, and consequently a priori.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not to be regarded as an object, but as the mode of representation of myself as an object. If I were another kind of being, without this condition of sensibility, then those very determinations which we now represent to ourselves as changes, (insofar as it sits in time), and so forth, would not appear.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠nothing else than the form of all phenomena of the internal sense, that is, 'the form of our internal intuition'.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠nothing else than the form of the internal sense, that is, of the intuitions of self and of our internal state. Time is not capable of being any determination of outward phenomena. It has nothing to do with shape or position. Rather it determines the relation of representations in our internal state.

Time (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠perceived as successive, but this is no proof at all of time's successive nature but rather, shows only that our consciousness perceives things as occurring in succession.
