Why then should nature have visited our reason with restless aspirations after it, as if it were one of our weightiest concerns?

 But this land is an island, and enclosed by nature herself within unchangeable limits. Become financially Independent using our proven system! By observation and analysis of phenomena we penetrate into the interior of nature, and no one can say what progress this knowledge may make in time. Human nature is too inconstant to admit of any such regularity. Reason, therefore, never applies directly to experience, or to any sensuous object; its object is, on the contrary, the understanding, to the manifold cognition of which it gives a unity a priori by means of conceptions--a unity which may be called rational unity, and which is of a nature very different from that of the unity produced by the understanding. It will probably be said, that my reasoning makes nothing to the matter in hands and that I explain only the manner in which objects affect the senses, without endeavouring to account for their real nature and operations. But in the Critique itself it will be demonstrated, not hypothetically, but apodeictically, from the nature of our representations of space and time. But this systematic unity of ends in this world of intelligences- which, as mere nature, is only a world of sense, but, as a system of freedom of volition, may be termed an intelligible, that is, moral world (regnum gratiae)--leads inevitably also to the teleological unity of all things which constitute this great whole, according to universal natural laws--just as the unity of the former is according to universal and necessary moral laws--and unites the practical with the speculative reason. Human reason is by nature architectonic.
