 Reason is benefited by the examination of a subject on both sides, and its judgements are corrected by being limited. The principal reason why natural abilities are esteemed, is because of their tendency to be useful to the person, who is possessed of them. For this science is nothing more than the inventory of all that is given us by pure reason, systematically arranged. 
  • I understand by idea a necessary conception of reason, to which no corresponding object can be discovered in the world of sense.
 What is the cause of this unavoidable step on the part of reason, of admitting that some one among all existing things must be necessary, while it falls back from the assertion of the existence of such a being as from an abyss? That reason possesses the faculty of causality, or that at least we are compelled so to represent it, is evident from the imperatives, which in the sphere of the practical we impose on many of our executive powers. In this view, the theoretical employment of reason is that by which I cognize a priori (as necessary) that something is, while the practical is that by which I cognize a priori what ought to happen.
