But to determine a priori an intuition in space (its figure), to divide time into periods, or merely to cognize the quantity of an intuition in space and time, and to determine it by number--all this is an operation of reason by means of the construction of conceptions, and is called mathematical.

 SECT. II. OF THE INFINITE DIVISIBILITY OF SPACE AND TIME. Now to this presupposition, for which they can have no ground in experience, and which consequently is merely metaphysical, I oppose a transcendental demonstration, which it is true will not explain the difference in the filling up of spaces, but which nevertheless completely does away with the supposed necessity of the above-mentioned presupposition that we cannot explain the said difference otherwise than by the hypothesis of empty spaces. 3. Space is no discursive, or as we say, general conception of the relations of things, but a pure intuition. All phenomena contain, as regards their form, an intuition in space and time, which lies a priori at the foundation of all without exception. Every beginning is in time, and all limits to extension are in space. (3) After identity the most universal and comprehensive relations are those of SPACE and TIME, which are the sources of an infinite number of comparisons, such as distant, contiguous, above, below, before, after, etc. The cause of this phaenomenon must evidently lie in the different properties of space and time.
