Of time we cannot have any external intuition, any more than we can have an internal intuition of space. 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. Space and time, therefore, do not consist of simple parts. Now, the facts that space is a formal condition a priori of external experience, that the formative synthesis, by which we construct a triangle in imagination, is the very same as that we employ in the apprehension of a phenomenon for the purpose of making an empirical conception of it, are what alone connect the notion of the possibility of such a thing, with the conception of it. I'm a real person writing to you, and I'm telling you this works... Its relation to objects in space gives us the conception of connection (commercium) with bodies. This synthesis is pure when the diversity is not given empirically but a priori (as that in space and time). And as in this series of aggregated spaces (for example, the feet in a rood), beginning with a given portion of space, those which continue to be annexed form the condition of the limits of the former--the measurement of a space must also be regarded as a synthesis of the series of the conditions of a given conditioned. We never can imagine or make a representation to ourselves of the non-existence of space, though we may easily enough think that no objects are found in it.
