But things in space and time are given only in so far as they are perceptions (representations accompanied with sensation), therefore only by empirical representation. The synthesis of spaces and times as the essential form of all intuition, is that which renders possible the apprehension of a phenomenon, and therefore every external experience, consequently all cognition of the objects of experience; and whatever mathematics in its pure use proves of the former, must necessarily hold good of the latter. 3. Space is no discursive, or as we say, general conception of the relations of things, but a pure intuition. Space, as the pure form of external intuition, is limited as a condition a priori to external phenomena alone. For example, if we take away by degrees from our conceptions of a body all that can be referred to mere sensuous experience--colour, hardness or softness, weight, even impenetrability--the body will then vanish; but the space which it occupied still remains, and this it is utterly impossible to annihilate in thought.
* This is a one time mailing and this list will never be used again. All substances, in so far as they can be perceived in space at the same time, exist in a state of complete reciprocity of action. Now, as everything real that occupies a space, contains a manifold the parts of which are external to each other, and is consequently composite--and a real composite, not of accidents (for these cannot exist external to each other apart from substance), but of substances--it follows that the simple must be a substantial composite, which is self-contradictory.
