   If Kant's claim is just that it is impossible to have a sensory experience of the absence of space, then by contrast it is not impossible to have a sensory experience of a chiliagon.

Where it comes from

From Ancient Greek χιλιάγωνος (khiliágōnos), from χίλιοι (khílioi, “thousand”) + γωνία (gōnía, “angle”). Equivalent to chilia- + -gon.
