Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on three different conceptions of space: Kant’s philosophical system presented in his Critique of Pure Reason, Heidegger’s conception of poetic space from his essay Poetically Man Dwells, and the general structural conception of space understood in its basic theoretical conditions. The aim of the paper is to show the change of the theoretical paradigm which refuses the idea of holistic and universalistic space, and, at the same time, to challenge Kant’s theory of space from the structural point of view. In this case we can talk about a turn, which emphasizes reference qualities instead of a priori qualities. The structural conception of space is further demonstrated on selected studies and texts.
