just as little does this regulative principle exclude the assumption of an intelligible cause, when the question regards merely the pure employment of reason--in relation to ends or aims. This attempt is, indeed, inconsistent with the grand aim of complete systematic unity in the sphere of cognition--a unity to which no bounds are set by reason. But it is evident in this case that the impulse arises not from reason, but is only directed by it. The first step in regard to the subjects of pure reason, and which marks the infancy of that faculty, is that of dogmatism. We shall divide it into two parts, the first of which will treat of the transcendent conceptions of pure reason, the second of transcendent and dialectical syllogisms. In the solution of the above problem is at the same time comprehended the possibility of the use of pure reason in the foundation and construction of all sciences which contain theoretical knowledge a priori of objects, that is to say, the answer to the following questions: For if there is one proposition in his chain of reasoning which be he cannot prove, or the fallacy in which be cannot evolve in accordance with a principle, suspicion falls on all his statements, however plausible they may appear.
