		That base, at Kant, is one of two interests Washington has in Kyrgyzstan; the other is making certain that al-Qaida or other radical Islamist groups don't increase their power in the region.

		Western liberal democracy might prove to be not the final destination on the democratic road, but just one of many possible exits.

	Early Philosophical Interpretations of General Relativity
		Thus, the theory of general relativity, on adoption of the coordinative definition of rigid rods ("universal forces = 0"), affirms that the geometry of spacetime in this region is of a non-euclidean kind.
		Relativity theory itself is a shining exemplar of this method for it has shown that the metric of spacetime describes an "objective property" of the world, once the subjective freedom to make coordinate transformations (the coordinating principle of general covariance) is recognized (1920, 86-7; 1965, 90).
		A cornerstone of Reichenbach's "logical analysis" of the theory of general relativity is the thesis of "the relativity of geometry", that an arbitrary geometry may be ascribed to spacetime (holding constant the underlying topology) if the laws of physics are correspondingly modified through the introduction of "universal forces".

		Despite the influence of this argument on the subsequent generation of philosophers of science, Reichenbach's analysis of spacetime measurement treatment is plainly inappropriate, manifesting a fallacious tendency to view the generically curved spacetimes of general relativity as stiched together from little bits of flat Minskowski spacetimes.

	Immanuel Kant -- Metaphysics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		It is impossible to grasp an object as an object unless we delineate the region of space it occupies.
		It is impossible, Kant argues, to extend knowledge to the supersensible realm of speculative metaphysics.
		The conflict between these contrary claims can be resolved, Kant argues, by taking his critical turn and recognizing that it is impossible for any cause to be thought of as uncaused itself in the realm of space and time.
