Now we have a conception of bodies only as phenomena, and, as such, they necessarily presuppose space as the condition of all external phenomena.

 

But, the assertion on the other band that when all composition in matter is annihilated in thought, nothing remains, does not seem to harmonize with the conception of substance, which must be properly the subject of all composition and must remain, even after the conjunction of its attributes in space- which constituted a body--is annihilated in thought.

 The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited in regard to space. Hence results, not only doubt as to the objective validity and proper limits of their use, but that even our conception of space is rendered equivocal; inasmuch as we are very ready with the aid of the categories, to carry the use of this conception beyond the conditions of sensuous intuition--and, for this reason, we have already found a transcendental deduction of it needful. For geometrical principles are always apodeictic, that is, united with the consciousness of their necessity, as; "Space has only three dimensions." But propositions of this kind cannot be empirical judgements, nor conclusions from them. Thus the conception of pure and merely intelligible objects is completely void of all principles of its application, because we cannot imagine any mode in which they might be given, and the problematical thought which leaves a place open for them serves only, like a void space, to limit the use of empirical principles, without containing at the same time any other object of cognition beyond their sphere. The world has no beginning, and no limits in space, but is, in relation both to time and space, infinite. SECT. II. OF THE INFINITE DIVISIBILITY OF SPACE AND TIME.
