27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 2. Space
Space is the order of coexisting possibles [Leibniz]
     Full Idea: Extension is the order of coexisting possibles.
     From: Gottfried Leibniz (Letters to Burcher De Volder [1706], 1703.06.20)
     A reaction: [In his next letter he uses the word 'space' instead of 'extension'] This is a rather startling different and modal definition of space. Cf Idea 13181.
