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.
The ideal space abstracted from perceptual space, having the properties of unity, isomorphism (i.e., homogeneity), continuity, infinity, and three dimensions (i.e., the objective space of classical physics ).
The subjective and qualitative sense of the relationship of entities arising from the organization of all perceptions.
