is 'relative' in so far as it is an 'order' but not a structure, and objective in so far as it is a necessary order.

But he also criticized the view of absolute time maintained by the Newtonians in his correspondence with Clarke. He satisfies both directions of criticism by regarding time as an 'order of successions'... that is, time is 'relative' in so far as it is an 'order' but not a structure, and objective in so far as it is a necessary order. This position was developed by Wolff (1719) into an account of time which regarded it as a confused, sensible perception of a rational order.

is (in kafka) the timelessness of a dream. It does not move forward the hero sets out again and again, but any new activity does not grow organically out of earlier activities... it is not a true succession, it is a perpetual starting again.

In Kafka there is no lapse of time. His world is entirely a city-world (the village of The Castle might equally well be a tenement, there is no nature here) without seasonal changes... most scenes take place at night indoors. We hear of days or weeks passing, but there is no development... time does not clarify or even intensify the confusion, though it shows that the labyrinth is more extensive than the hero earlier thought. Anders uses the term 'paralysed time', Mendilow speaks of 'a temporal vacuum'. Kafka's time is the timelessness of a dream. His heroes set out again and again, but there new activity does not grow organically out of their earlier, it is not a true succession, it is a perpetual starting again. His heroes might say, with the narrator of Investigations of a Dog: 'how my life has changed, and how at bottom it has not changed.

is, along with space and causality, only a metaphor of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.

Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.

is 1st, an intuition such that it does not arise from, but is presupposed by the senses.

He presented his new theory of time in the shape of seven theses which distinguished it from other positions by defining it as an intuition. The first thesis holds that 'time does not arise from but is presupposed by the senses' (ID 14), and implicitly agrees with Leibniz's view that Locke's derivation of time from succession is a petition principii.

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.

The second thesis attacks the view held by the Leibnizians that time is a concept: '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' (ibid.).

is 3rd, an intuition, one which, since it is prior to sensation, is a pure intuition.

This means, in terms of the third thesis, that time is an intuition, one which, since it is prior to sensation, is a pure intuition.

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

The fourth thesis holds that time is a continuous magnitude, and that moments of time are not parts of time 'but limits with time between them'.

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

In the fifth, and most controversial thesis, Kant maintains that 'time is not something objective and real' (ibid.) and is neither a substance, nor an accident, nor a relation. This thesis, directed as much against the Newtonians as the Leibnizians, claims that time is a subjective condition 'necessary, in virtue of the nature of the human mind, for the co-ordinating of all sensible things in accordance with a fixed law' (ibid.). Yet while it is neither real nor objective, it is not simply subjective in the Lockean sense since it is a form of co-ordination prior to the objects of sense that it co-ordinates.
