Summary/Abstract: Space is usually the place where we live day by day, so we can see it through our perceptions. But what if space is something else? What if it is not a simple perception? And what is then the space în kantian concept of the term? And why Kant became so important to us in defining this special theory of space? Not only for us, but for mathematicians too. We can say that geometric space ocupies volume, lenght, height and width. Considering to the kantian theory and to the neo-euclidian theory there are many types of spaces. Nowadays we can talk about the pluri-vers or multi-vers, the multidimensional space from the Calabi-Yau theory. Euclidian theory claimed that four points in different directions- which that means to be non-collinear points- already form space and three non-collinear points already form a plan. The surfacesʹs theory in the 18th century will be represented by Leonhard Euler, Gaspard Monge and Carl Gauss. In this paper we will follow the intercession of Kantʹs theory on space in parallel with the evolution of mathematics theories.
