The transcendental concept of appearances in space, on the con trary, is a critical reminder that absolutely nothing that is intuited in space is a thing in itself, and that space is not a form that is proper to anything in itself, but rather that objects in themselves are not known to us at all, and that what we call outer objects are nothing other than mere representations of our sensibility, whose form is space, but whose true correlate,.e., the thing in itself, is not and cannot be cognized through them, but is also never asked after in experience.
