In other words, we must restrict the sphere of opinion to the world of experience and nature. This is that an event cannot be determined in time, and consequently cannot form a part of experience, unless it stands under this dynamical law. But as I am authorized to employ the transcendental hypothesis of such a being in a relative respect alone, that is, as the substratum of the greatest possible unity in experience--I may attribute to a being which I regard as distinct from the world, such properties as belong solely to the sphere of sense and experience. Theoretical cognition is speculative when it relates to an object or certain conceptions of an object which is not given and cannot be discovered by means of experience. Moreover, the criterion of necessity in existence possesses no application beyond the field of possible experience, and even in this it is not valid of the existence of things as substances, because these can never be considered as empirical effects, or as something that happens and has a beginning. In transcendental cognition, so long as we are dealing only with conceptions of the understanding, we are guided by possible experience.
