Space, philosophy: various discussions deal, among others, with the question whether the space is absolute or whether empty space is possible. In different sciences, multi-dimensional spaces with certain properties are used to better calculate like Hilbert spaces in the theory of relativity or multidimensional spaces in mathematical nodal theory. No ontological assumptions are made. See also substantivalism, relativism, movement, absoluteness, compactness, conceptual space, dimensions, logical space, four-dimensionalism.

Immanuel Kant on Space - Dictionary of Arguments

I 85
Space/relativism/rationalism/Leibniz: (according to Kant): only capability exists of the mutual relationship of the things in it.
KantVsLeibniz: counter-example: incongruity of left and right hands or mirror image - an inversion does not restore the identity here.
>Chirality

Strawson V 28
Space/Time/Kant: totality seems to impose a disjunction on us: either limited, there is one last element, or unlimited.
Since the antinomies are not empirically decidable, it thus confirms that space and time only exist as phenomena, and not as things in themselves.
>Antinomies/Kant.
StrawsonVsKant: it is not clear if there is no empirical solution.
V 48
Space/Time/Kant: not produced by things, but by the subjects - space and time are states of consciousness - state of consciousness: not of high importance, merely effects of things, not their states.
>Subject/Kant, >Perception/Kant, >Experience/Kant.
V 49
Space does not arise from experience, but experience presupposes space.
>Time/Kant.
