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.

 But this very synthetical unity remains, even when I abstract the form of space, and has its seat in the understanding, and is in fact the category of the synthesis of the homogeneous in an intuition; that is to say, the category of quantity, to which the aforesaid synthesis of apprehension, that is, the perception, must be completely conformable.* The following may be used:  (1) The cause and effect must be contiguous in space and time. Transcendental idealism allows that the objects of external intuition--as intuited in space, and all changes in time--as represented by the internal sense, are real. It follows that this must hold good of all things that are in the different parts of space at the same time, however similar and equal one may be to another.
