When we arrange these principles of systematic unity in the order conformable to their employment in experience, they will stand thus; Variety, Affinity, Unity, each of them, as ideas, being taken in the highest degree of their completeness. As to the independency of our perceptions on ourselves, this can never be an object of the senses; but any opinion we form concerning it, must be derived from experience and observation: And we shall see afterwards, that our conclusions from experience are far from being favourable to the doctrine of the independency of our perceptions. This is sufficiently evident from experience. Hence those pure synthetical judgements do relate, though but mediately, to possible experience, or rather to the possibility of experience, and upon that alone is founded the objective validity of their synthesis.
Nay, more, reason itself cannot cogitate them as according with the general laws of experience. For on what ground can reason base such synthetical propositions, which do not relate to the objects of experience and their internal possibility? The only advantage of this admission is that it enables me to answer all other questions relating to the contingent, and to give reason the most complete satisfaction as regards the unity which it aims at attaining in the world of experience.
