Hence, with him, space and time were possible--the former through the relation of substances, the latter through the connection of their determinations with each other, as causes and effects.

 For, in the contrary case, it would be limited by a void time on the one hand, and by a void space on the other. Precisely similar is the case with our notion of space. Now space and time contain an infinite diversity of determinations of pure a priori intuition, but are nevertheless the condition of the mind's receptivity, under which alone it can obtain representations of objects, and which, consequently, must always affect the conception of these objects. 

Time and space are, therefore, two sources of knowledge, from which, a priori, various synthetical cognitions can be drawn.

 (a) Space does not represent any property of objects as things in themselves, nor does it represent them in their relations to each other; in other words, space does not represent to us any determination of objects such as attaches to the objects themselves, and would remain, even though all subjective conditions of the intuition were abstracted.
