We compare the analysis on simultaneity that Kant makes in the “Third Analogy of Experience” (KrV) and in the “Analytic of the Sublime” (KU) in order to understand the differences between the two approaches. It attempts to show that the intuition of simultaneity as developed in the framework of the sublime underlies the fundamental units of synthesis mentioned in the “Axioms of Intuition” (KrV). It is also noted that the intuition of simultaneity as is explained in the “Analytic of the Sublime” (KU) does not necessarily agree with the notion of “absolute magnitude”.
