This sceptical philosopher did not distinguish these two kinds of judgements, as he ought to have done, but regarded this augmentation of conceptions, and, if we may so express ourselves, the spontaneous generation of understanding and reason, independently of the impregnation of experience, as altogether impossible. For thus I reason. And finally I determine my cognition by means of the predicate of the rule (this is the conclusio), consequently, I determine it a priori by means of the reason. But this fallacy is not a consciously devised one, but a perfectly natural illusion of the common reason of man. We may apply the same reasoning to CURVE and RIGHT lines. Nor can she regard these conflicting trains of reasoning with indifference as mere passages at arms, still less can she command peace; for in the subject of the conflict she has a deep interest. 1. Reason, as observed in the syllogistic process, is not applicable to intuitions, for the purpose of subjecting them to rules--for this is the province of the understanding with its categories--but to conceptions and judgements. But though I acknowledge this to be a true principle of association among ideas, I assert it to be the very same with that betwixt the ideas of cause and effects and to be an essential part in all our reasonings from that relation.
