It certainly seems that, as a body must be cogitated as substance in space, the law of divisibility would not be applicable to it as substance. Someone who now will be spending the rest of their life carrying a bag around? The only a priori intuition is that of the pure form of phenomena- space and time. Space and time, therefore, do not consist of simple parts. For such an object could not be represented either in space or in time; and without these conditions intuition or representation is impossible. A substance which is permanently present in space, yet without filling it (like that tertium quid between matter and the thinking subject which some have tried to introduce into metaphysics), or a peculiar fundamental power of the mind of intuiting the future by anticipation (instead of merely inferring from past and present events), or, finally, a power of the mind to place itself in community of thought with other men, however distant they may be--these are conceptions the possibility of which has no ground to rest upon. For, in the first place, we can only represent to ourselves one space, and, when we talk of divers spaces, we mean only parts of one and the same space. Thus space and time were the intelligible form of the connection of things (substances and their states) in themselves.
