A strong propensity or inclination alone, without any present impression, will sometimes cause a belief or opinion. We have been able, with very little trouble, to make it comprehensible how the conceptions of space and time, although a priori cognitions, must necessarily apply to external objects, and render a synthetical cognition of these possible, independently of all experience. Between two moments there is always a certain time, and between two states existing in these moments there is always a difference having a certain quantity (for all parts of phenomena are in their turn quantities). There are, however, instances, in cases of less moment, wherein this immediate taste or sentiment produces our approbation. According to the idea of reason, the whole past time, as the condition of the given moment, is necessarily cogitated as given. We adopt this course from motives of economy; as psychology is not as yet full enough to occupy our attention as an independent study, while it is, at the same time, of too great importance to be entirely excluded or placed where it has still less affinity than it has with the subject of metaphysics.
