kant on space

Space
By means of outer sense, we represent to ourselves objects as outside us. In space their shape, magnitude and relation are determined or determinable. ... Time cannot be outwardly intuited, any more than space can be intuited as something in us. Let us give an exposition of space, a clear though not exhaustive representation of that which belongs to a concept. ... Space is not an empirical concept, which is derived from outer experience. For in order that certain sensations be referred to something as outside me and alongside one another, the representation of space must be presupposed as the condition of outer experience. ... Space is an a priori representation, which underlies all out intuitions. We can never represent to ourselves the absence of space but we can think it as empty of objects. Therefore space must be regarded as the condition of appearances that underlies them. ... Space is not a discursive or a general concept of relations of things, but a pure intuition.
