It is evident, that when an object is attended with contrary effects, we judge of them only by our past experience, and always consider those as possible, which we have observed to follow from it.

 The unity of reason is therefore not the unity of a possible experience, but is essentially different from this unity, which is that of the understanding. You have nothing to lose except fat!! There is scarce a moment of my life, wherein there is not a similar instance presented to me, and I have not occasion to suppose the continued existence of objects, in order to connect their past and present appearances, and give them such an union with each other, as I have found by experience to be suitable to their particular natures and circumstances. What this basis of cosmical unity may be in itself, we know not--we cannot discover from the idea; we merely know how we ought to employ the idea of this unity, in relation to the systematic operation of reason in the sphere of experience. The form of judgements--converted into a conception of the synthesis of intuitions--produced the categories which direct the employment of the understanding in experience.
