just in the same way did Plato, abandoning the world of sense because of the narrow limits it sets to the understanding, venture upon the wings of ideas beyond it, into the void space of pure intellect. Empirical intuition is therefore not a composition of phenomena and space (of perception and empty intuition). 2. Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions. (See SS 3.) Therefore, to speak accurately, no ideality whatever belongs to these, although they agree in this respect with the representation of space, that they belong merely to the subjective nature of the mode of sensuous perception; such a mode, for example, as that of sight, of hearing, and of feeling, by means of the sensations of colour, sound, and heat, but which, because they are only sensations and not intuitions, do not of themselves give us the cognition of any object, least of all, an a priori cognition. We have therefore no idea of space or extension, but when we regard it as an object either of our sight or feeling.
