[*Footnote; Space represented as an object (as geometry really requires it to be) contains more than the mere form of the intuition; namely, a combination of the manifold given according to the form of sensibility into a representation that can be intuited; so that the form of the intuition gives us merely the manifold, but the formal intuition gives unity of representation.

 These representations, in so far as they are connected and determinable in this relation (in space and time) according to laws of the unity of experience, are called objects. Geometry is a science which determines the properties of space synthetically, and yet a priorI. What, then, must be our representation of space, in order that such a cognition of it may be possible? We never can imagine or make a representation to ourselves of the non-existence of space, though we may easily enough think that no objects are found in it. And thus Leibnitz regarded space as a certain order in the community of substances, and time as the dynamical sequence of their states.
