Kant page 86

"Bounds always presuppose a space existing outside a certain definite place and inclosing it; limits do not require this, but are mere negations which affect a quantity so far as it is not absolutely complete."


I understand what Kant is trying to say here. I feel that what he meens is that the only way that bounds are able to occur is if there is some space or object that can create the bounds. When something has a limit it meens that there does not have to be space or an object to limit that objects possibility.

I think this is true, heard of the cliche limitless bounds. bounds are there put a limit to what we can do. Everything has a limit in my opinion, even the outer space. Even though it is still growing from the first time outer space was created from the Big Bang.
