Rather than Descartes - who I love - I used Kant to try to explain that time and space are of our minds, not of things external to us, which we can never know in-themselves. I pointed out that Newton realized that, as Hume put it, "If it wasn't for our passions and emotions, we could have no idea of a substance." And he how he showed that 'heat' is not a something-in-itself.



OK I've only read the first few comments, but I know where you are coming from and the likely reaction (same happened whhen I queried the validity of Darwin)

Best of luck!



I got to be accused of solipsism, though the people using versions of Johnson's rebuttal of Berkeley clearly did not know what the term means - but they mocked me, though Johnson was the fool, even if Berkeley went a bit far.
