Consequently, things, as phenomena, determine space; that is to say, they render it possible that, of all the possible predicates of space (size and relation), certain may belong to reality. But we cannot affirm the converse, that space, as something self-subsistent, can determine real things in regard to size or shape, for it is in itself not a real thing. For such an object could not be represented either in space or in time; and without these conditions intuition or representation is impossible. 2. Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions. Mathematics, too, treats of the difference of lines and surfaces--as spaces of different quality, of the continuity of extension--as a quality thereof.
