Kant (space): *

His second argument in the Metaphysical Exposition:

                 “2. Space is a necessary a priori representation that underlies all outer intuitions. One can never forge a representation of the absence of                          space, though one can quite well think that no things are to be met within it. It must therefore be regarded as the condition of the possibility                    of appearances, and not as a determination dependent upon them, and it is an a priori representation that necessarily underlies outer                              appearances. “

                                             from the Critique of Pure Reason (1781 )
