Excerpt from Mind, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy; 1896 IN the present paper, we are not concerned with the cor respondence of Geometry with fact; we are concerned with Geometry simply as a body of reasoning, the conditions of whose possibility we wish to examine. For our present purpose, therefore, we have nothing to do with crude or nu formed notions of space; we have to do with the conception of space in its most finished and elaborated form, after thought has done its utmost in transforming the intuitional data. Nevertheless, we shall have occasion to remember, from time to time, that there is a space-intuition, and that the nature of this intuition makes the conception of space radically and permanently different, in important respects, from that of any other manifold.
