The case is very different with those principles whose province it is to subject the existence of phenomena to rules a priorI. For as existence does not admit of being constructed, it is clear that they must only concern the relations of existence and be merely regulative principles.

 These passions are moved by degrees of liveliness and strength, which are inferior to belief, and independent of the real existence of their objects. They as little produce the opinion of a distinct existence, because they neither can offer it to the mind as represented, nor as original. By the same intuition, that we perceive nothing not to be equal to two right angles, or not to be something, we perceive, that it can never be a cause; and consequently must perceive, that every object has a real cause of its existence. 

It follows that, if phenomena were things in themselves, and--as an immediate consequence from this supposition- condition and conditioned belonged to the same series of phenomena, the existence of a necessary being, as the condition of the existence of sensuous phenomena, would be perfectly impossible.

 It is evident, that existence in itself belongs only to unity, and is never applicable to number, but on account of the unites, of which the number is composed. It is impossible, therefore, that this idea of existence can be annexed to the idea of any object, or form the difference betwixt a simple conception and belief.
