Space

Space is the receptacle, the formless nurse of all becoming, apprehended only by a kind of spurious reason.

Place is the innermost motionless boundary of the containing body; there is no void.

The void is as fundamental as atoms; without empty space, no motion or division is possible.

Place belongs to bodies; angels are in place by application of power, not by being contained.

Extension is the essence of body; space and matter are identical, and there can be no vacuum.

Absolute space exists independently of bodies; it is the infinite, immovable container in which all motion occurs.

Space is not a substance but an order of coexistences, the system of relations among bodies.

Space is a simple idea from sight and touch; we can conceive empty space beyond all bodies.

Space is the a priori form of outer intuition; we impose spatial order on experience, not extract it from things.

Space is the abstract externality of nature, the first determination of the Idea in its otherness.
