Such a causality would be considered, in reference to phenomena, as the primal action of a cause, which is in so far, therefore, not phenomenal, but, by reason of this faculty or power, intelligible; although it must, at the same time, as a link in the chain of nature, be regarded as belonging to the sensuous world.

 This conception of causality leads us to the conception of action; that of action, to the conception of force; and through it, to the conception of substance. That everything that happens has a cause, cannot be concluded from the general conception of that which happens; on the contrary the principle of causality instructs us as to the mode of obtaining from that which happens a determinate empirical conception.

 All change is therefore possible only through a continuous action of the causality, which, in so far as it is uniform, we call a momentum.
