SPACE
[B5] Along with time, a transcendentally ideal form of our sensibility. "If we remove from our empirical concept of a body, one by one, every feature in it which is merely empirical...there still remains the space which the body (now entirely vanished) occupied". Kant holds that space is a condition of the sensibility to which all outer appearances must conform, that space is necessary in order to represent time, that it is an a priori form of intuition and thus transcendentally ideal; he also argues, for example, that space is continuous and infinitely divisible.
