But as we can apply to it none of the conceptions of our understanding, the representation is for us quite void, and is available only for the indication of the limits of our sensuous intuition, thereby leaving at the same time an empty space, which we are competent to fill by the aid neither of possible experience, nor of the pure understanding. But we are speaking here merely of phenomena in space and time, both of which are determinations of sensibility, and not of things in themselves.
