Thus I construct a triangle, by the presentation of the object which corresponds to this conception, either by mere imagination, in pure intuition, or upon paper, in empirical intuition, in both cases completely a priori, without borrowing the type of that figure from any experience. Indeed, the logical clearness of this representation of a rule, determining the series of events, is possible only when we have made use thereof in experience. For that is plainly of itself some degree of probability; though uncertain and variable, according to the degrees of his experience and length of the accompt.

Freedom is in this sense a pure transcendental idea, which, in the first place, contains no empirical element; the object of which, in the second place, cannot be given or determined in any experience, because it is a universal law of the very possibility of experience, that everything which happens must have a cause, that consequently the causality of a cause, being itself something that has happened, must also have a cause.
