enantiamorphs

enantiamorphs (from Greek enantios, ‘opposite’, and morphe, ‘form’), objects whose shapes differ as do those of a right and left hand. One of a pair of enantiamorphs can be made to look identical in shape to the other by viewing it in a mirror but not merely by changing its spatial orientation. Enantiamorphs figure prominently in the work of Kant, who argued that the existence of enantiamorphic pairs entailed that Leibnizian relational theories of space were to be rejected in favor of Newtonian absolutist theories, that some facts about space could be apprehended only by ‘pure intuition,’ and that space was mind-dependent. See also KANT, LEIBNI. R.Ke.
