We must inquire, for example, whether or not imagination (connected with consciousness), memory, wit, and analysis are not merely different forms of understanding and reason. But though this may seem reasonable, we easily comply with the contrary opinion. For the same reason we must reject the distinction betwixt cause and occasion, when supposed to signify any thing essentially different from each other. The latter is engaged solely with the combination of parts into a whole, or with the division of a whole into its parts; and therefore are the conditions of its series parts of the series, and to be consequently regarded as homogeneous, and for this reason, as consisting, without exception, of phenomena. [*Footnote; In order to cognize an object, I must be able to prove its possibility, either from its reality as attested by experience, or a priori, by means of reason. For that which of necessity impels us to transcend the limits of experience and of all phenomena is the unconditioned, which reason absolutely requires in things as they are in themselves, in order to complete the series of conditions. As liars, by the frequent repetition of their lies, come at last to remember them; so the judgment, or rather the imagination, by the like means, may have ideas so strongly imprinted on it, and conceive them in so full a light, that they may operate upon the mind in the same manner with those, which the senses, memory or reason present to us. The solution of these problems is our task in transcendental dialectic, which we are about to expose even at its source, that lies deep in human reason.
