Now, this is a supposition which, if regarded as of a constitutive character, goes much farther than any experience or observation of ours can justify.

 
As regards the latter, which can never be given in a determinate mode except by experience, there are no a priori notions which relate to it, except the undetermined conceptions of the synthesis of possible sensations, in so far as these belong (in a possible experience) to the unity of consciousness.
 The general conception of a reality cannot be divided a priori, because, without the aid of experience, we cannot know any determinate kinds of reality, standing under the former as the genus. I should have a reasonable hope of putting an end for ever to this sophistical mode of argumentation, by a strict definition of the conception of existence, did not my own experience teach me that the illusion arising from our confounding a logical with a real predicate (a predicate which aids in the determination of a thing) resists almost all the endeavours of explanation and illustration. This hypothesis is founded on sufficient experience. To cogitate the latter in regard to its internal possibility, that is, to determine the application of the categories to it, no idea is required--no representation which transcends experience. For it would be absurd to think of grounding an analytical judgement on experience, because in forming such a judgement I need not go out of the sphere of my conceptions, and therefore recourse to the testimony of experience is quite unnecessary. But all laws of nature, without distinction, are subject to higher principles of the understanding, inasmuch as the former are merely applications of the latter to particular cases of experience. 

ed with the transcendental, which requires a principle of the practicability of such a synthesis--a principle which again refers us to the world of experience.

 Experience is an empirical cognition; that is to say, a cognition which determines an object by means of perceptions.
