Definition of Extension

[A22/B37] Kant speaks of the extension of a concept, in roughly the normal sense, and also of spatial things as having extension. Of the latter, he writes "by means of outer sense, a property of our mind, we represent to ourselves objects as outside us, and all without exception in space. In space their shape, magnitude, and relation to one another are determined or determinable". [A26/B42] A conclusion of the Aesthetic is that things in themselves have no extension (are not in space), namely because space, as a pure intuition, is a form of sensibility. [A2/B6] In the Introduction, he argues that not only do we know a priori that all objects are extended, but indeed that extension "has its seat in our faculty of a priori knowledge".

Extension Applies chiefly to the familiar attribute of physical objects or space, but can be used in a wider and more general sense. The terms space, extension, and spatial extension are to a great extent interchangeable in popular speech. The notion they convey seems essential to our mental processes, and we cannot even think of a point without having first imagined an extended space for it to be located in. When abstract space is spoken of as boundless extension, the latter word must be understood as the extension of this, that, or some other cosmic plane, and hence on each such plane resembling the spatial extension which we recognize as physical space, great or small. However, extension is not abstract space itself, for all extensions of whatever character, and on whatever plane, are contained in abstract space; so that if we speak of abstract space as boundless extension, we must enlarge the word extension to include the inner and the outer, the high and the low, and all that is visible or invisible, past, present, and future.
