More correctly: we build our idea ( Vorstellung), our mental perception ( Anschauung), of space from out of ourselves. Only, we do not do this consciously, because we do it at a time of life when we do not think about our own activities in the way that would be necessary if we were to come to a clear understanding of the nature of space in relation to our own being. Indeed, we should not have our intuition of space ( Raumanschauung) if, in our earthly life, we did not first experience its three dimensions.
