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.
