According to the idea of reason, the whole past time, as the condition of the given moment, is necessarily cogitated as given. In the other case, reason proceeds by the construction of conceptions; and, as these conceptions relate to an a priori intuition, they may be given and determined in pure intuition a priori, and without the aid of empirical data.
