The production of systematic unity in all the empirical operations of the understanding is the proper occupation of reason; just as it is the business of the understanding to connect the various content of phenomena by means of conceptions, and subject them to empirical laws. Hence the proposition, "Nothing happens by blind chance (in mundo non datur casus)," is an a priori law of nature. In this case, nature is the complete and all-sufficient cause of every event; and condition and conditioned, cause and effect are contained in the same series, and necessitated by the same law. Practical laws, in so far as they are subjective grounds of actions, that is, subjective principles, are termed maxims.
