Abstract
This paper aims to explain why we experience any virtual world as a space, even though we cannot speak about virtual words as having spatiality in the common sense of the word. Following Kant’s analysis of space and Merleau-Ponty’s view on the same, I will try to account, at least in part, for the mentioned phenomenon by explaining why cyberspace is experienced with an expectation of space, as is any other exterior object. Also, I will argue that this space should always be understood in the sense of a horizon. I am operating here under the assumption that any experience of the virtual world cannot be separated from the real world, because they are part of the same lived experience.
