Abstract
Immanuel Kant is usually associated with the theory that space is not a thing in itself, nor a property of things in themselves, but a “form of sensibility” by means of which we organize our sensations. This theory, however, was only the last of several strenuous attempts by Kant to arrive at a satisfactory account of the nature of space.
Originally read at the 1961 Congress of the Canadian Philosophical Association.
