Summary/Abstract: In his transcendental aesthetics (Critique of Pure Reason, 1781), Kant posits space and time as its primary and only elements as a priori conditions of sensibility; grounded solely in the subject, they are our pure intuitions of both external and internal phenomena. With this formulation, Kant’s transcendental aesthetics fatefully binds sensibility and art to their ultimate limits: beyond time and space, there is no sensory perception, and no creative capture of what is perceived in works of art – except only in an apophatic way. However, with the discovery of the four-dimensional “Minkowski time-space”, already verified empirically in physics, and accordingly after rethinking the idea of time, qualitatively new aesthetic theories about sensibility, movement and the body emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries; new uses of time in various temporal and synthetic arts have been observed; moreover, all these presuppositions lead to the need to rethink the classical classification of the arts.
