For neither absolute nor relative determinations of objects can be intuited prior to the existence of the things to which they belong, and therefore not a priorI. (b) Space is nothing else than the form of all phenomena of the external sense, that is, the subjective condition of the sensibility, under which alone external intuition is possible.

 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. As regards limitation, therefore, our procedure in space is also a regressus, and the transcendental idea of the absolute totality of the synthesis in a series of conditions applies to space also; and I am entitled to demand the absolute totality of the phenomenal synthesis in space as well as in time. In conclusion, that transcendental aesthetic cannot contain any more than these two elements--space and time, is sufficiently obvious from the fact that all other conceptions appertaining to sensibility, even that of motion, which unites in itself both elements, presuppose something empirical. 2. Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions. Space (filled or void)* may therefore be limited by phenomena, but phenomena cannot be limited by an empty space without them. If light be not given to the senses, we cannot represent to ourselves darkness, and if extended objects are not perceived, we cannot represent space. It is a patented device created with a gold metal plate,  For geometrical principles are always apodeictic, that is, united with the consciousness of their necessity, as; "Space has only three dimensions." But propositions of this kind cannot be empirical judgements, nor conclusions from them. For since, according to their hypothesis, the least as well as greatest figures contain an infinite number of parts; and since infinite numbers, properly speaking, can neither be equal nor unequal with respect to each other; the equality or inequality of any portions of space can never depend on any proportion in the number of their parts. Mathematics, too, treats of the difference of lines and surfaces--as spaces of different quality, of the continuity of extension--as a quality thereof.
