Matt P.:

Good questions, and now I'm facing the fact I haven't read Kant in
years.  I think he assumes that all rational agents do indeed
construct the universe in the same way and reasons from that
assumption.  To contradict him on this point would be to try to
imagine a universe in which physical objects in the same visual field
did not occupy the same space, that cause/effect was not a valid or
existing principle, that time was not experienced in a linear fashion
(at all -- I'm not talking about different conceptions of time
alongside a linear conception of time, but no linear conception of
time at all.  If there's cause/effect reasoning, there is a linear
conception of time), etc.  It probably seems like a safe assumption on
his part...
