 Absolutism raises other difficulties. It is possible to think of space as an instantaneous framework projected onto reality by the  mind.[18]  If space is such a mind-dependent framework, it could still be thought of as independent of objects. At any rate, if absolutism indicates that space is independent of all objects and relations, and if that is held to entail that it must be independent of the mind as well, we probably require some clarification of this entailment, for it is not obvious (Ishiguro 1972, 109). In fact, Kant may have defended an absolutist-idealist conception of space in the Inaugural Dissertation of 1770 (Friedman 1992, 29–31). Clarity can be achieved only if one avoids conflating these myriad views.
