One of the many confusing things about Kant is that he uses words in idiosyncratic ways. His “necessary” is usually “any possible experience”. At least that keeps the usual.equation between “necessary” and “all.possible”. Anyway, space is necessary for any possible experience involving a subject and an object, because spatial separation is what distinguishes a subject an an object.
