Our internal impressions are our passions, emotions, desires and aversions; none of which, I believe, will ever be asserted to be the model, from which the idea of space is derived. When we reflect, therefore, on any object distant from ourselves, we are obliged not only to reach it at first by passing through all the intermediate space betwixt ourselves and the object, but also to renew our progress every moment; being every moment recalled to the consideration of ourselves and our present situation. 2. Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions. Every limited part of space presented to intuition is a whole, the parts of which are always spaces--to whatever extent subdivided. - But, as phenomena are objects of sensibility, and, as the understanding, in respect of them, must be employed empirically and not purely or transcendentally, plurality and numerical difference are given by space itself as the condition of external phenomena.
The infinite divisibility of space implies that of time, as is evident from the nature of motion.
