[QUOTE="spiney, post: 246180, member: 192438"] Space as absolute, as Newton put it "God's Sensorium", may be contrasted with space as relationships, the Leibnizian view. Kant thought that space was a pre-condition of any experience whatsoever (transcendendtal, a priori). As he said, can you imagine just a right hand on it's own? (try, and you'll find you're imagining it inside a set of pre-existing co-ordinate axis ....!). [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_space_and_time[/url] . [/QUOTE]
