Space ...

I am finding it difficult to find a good/concise starting point for a discussion of the concept of space from Newton to Kant as that concept relates to notions of the "absolute".
It takes a robust concept of space to start, and where to begin with that? In the beginning? (Literally, the earliest use of the word in the Western tradition is in Genesis.)

[I was mocking someone for the improper use of "literal" earlier today ... and i think i may have just violated the definition myself.]


Anyway ... i continue to think on it. The subject has not been forgotten.
If one were to want to "problematize" physics, just understanding the history of the conception of space would be an excellent starting point.
