SECT. III. OF THE OTHER QUALITIES OF OUR IDEA OF SPACE AND TIME.

 You will never get rich working for someone else. This partly explains why someone starts a new home-based business in the United States every 10 seconds. 
  • He feels in that case a certain sensation or impression, the parts of which are successive to each other, and may give him the idea of time: But certainly are not disposed in such a manner, as is necessary to convey the idea of s ace or the idea of space or extension.
 
  • In order to become informed on these points, we shall first give an exposition of the conception of space.
 If, for example, we presuppose that the world of sense is given in itself in its totality, it is false, either that it is infinite, or that it is finite and limited in space. But as sensuous intuition is a peculiar subjective condition, which is a priori at the foundation of all perception, and the form of which is primitive, the form must be given per se, and so far from matter (or the things themselves which appear) lying at the foundation of experience (as we must conclude, if we judge by mere conceptions), the very possibility of itself presupposes, on the contrary, a given formal intuition (space and time). Space (filled or void)* may therefore be limited by phenomena, but phenomena cannot be limited by an empty space without them.
