A state of 
_ ipace and til 
The celebrated doctrine of Kant was that space is a form 
of pure intuition that is, Is an idea imported by the mind 
into cognition, and corresponding to nothing in the things 
in themselves (though he did not hold that special spatial 
relations were altogether Illusory) just us color is a qual- 
ity of sensation which in iU generality corresponds to 
nothing in the object, though differences of color corre- 
spond to differences in objects. That this intuition of space 
is individual, not general, and that no outward intuition is 
possible except under this form, were points also insisted 
upon by Kant. At present there are, broadly speaking, 
two views of space-perception. One is the great doctrine 
of Berkeley worked out in different directions by J. S. 
Mill, Helmholtz, Lotze, Wundt, and others that the idea 
of space is evoked under the combined influence of reti- 
nal sensations and of muscular sensations of motion, in a 
manner analogous to that by which the laws of dynamics 
have been evolved from experience. This is the theory 
which, under one modification or another, is held by almost 
all modern scientific psychologists. Some competent 
writers, however, oppose this, holding that " all our sen- 
sations are positively and inexplicably extensive wholes." 
This opinion conflicts with the usual one only in so far as 
It clings to the inexplicability and irrationality of space. 
The vulgar conception of space as a sort of thing or sub- 
stance of adiff erent category from material things, through 
which the latter move without sensible resistance, is ac- 
ceptable to mathematicians, who find that such a construc- 
tion lends itself remarkably to their diagrammatic reason- 
ing. For the geometer, space Is primarily a system of points 
having the following properties : (1) It is continuous. 
See continuity, 2. (2) It is unlimited, whether the part 
at a finite distance from a given point be limited or not. 
(3) It has three dimensions that is, a set of three num- 
bers varying continuously may be placed in continuous 
one-to-one correspondence with the points of space. By 
a continuous correspondence is meant one in which a 
continuous variation in one member will correspond in 
every case to a continuous variation in the other. (4) All 
the points of space have perfectly similar spatial relations. 
(6) It Is possible for a rigid body to move in space, and 
such a body is fixed by the fixation of three points, but 
not fewer. (6) Any figure may be magnified while pre- 
serving the proportionality of all its lines. Geometers of- 
ten imagine these properties to be modified. In particu- 
lar, they use the hypothesis of a space of four or more di- 
mensions. They also often suppose the principle of simi- 
lar figures, or, what is the same thing, the doctrine of
