The best explaination of what space and time actually are is given in the
Critique of Pure Reason.  Briefly put, space and time are the a priori
forms of our intuition.

Reconciling this with relativity did seem difficult, until one realizes
that there is an absolute spacetime; with different reference frames being
represented by rotations in spacetime.  Goldstein's text on Classical
Mechanics contains a good explaination of this.

Hope this helps.
