Arthur Maiseld: Time, Space, and Causality are *a priori*for Kant in the
sense that they are preconditions for any experience whatsoever---they are
precisely what cannot be learned from experience.

This seems doubtful in respect to time at least, since ways of experiencing
time have changed radically. Prior to the last few centuries, events
measured time rather than time measuring events. Postone points out that
Newton was quite aware that time as he defined it (and needed it for his
physics) was an invention not a discovery.
