In his early work, Space and Time in Contemporary Physics, Schlick presented a philosophical introduction to the new physics of Relativity as well as a more specific critique of the “synthetic a priori character that Kantian transcendental philosophy attributed to propositions about space and time. This systematic critique, confined at first to the foundations of mathematics and the natural sciences, was generalised by Schlick to all the basic problems of human knowledge. It thus became the basis of his philosophy in this initial period” (Macmillan Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
