TRANSCENDENTAL LOGIC.

 

I perceive, that a promise itself arises entirely from human conventions, and is invented with a view to a certain interest.

 Reflection (reflexio) is not occupied about objects themselves, for the purpose of directly obtaining conceptions of them, but is that state of the mind in which we set ourselves to discover the subjective conditions under which we obtain conceptions. We find that an evil, barely conceived as possible, does sometimes produce fear; especially if the evil be very great. This sensuous object must, in the second place, possess an intelligible character, which guarantees it to be the cause of those actions, as phenomena, although it is not itself a phenomenon nor subordinate to the conditions of the world of sense. It's a proven fact. Whether we consider a single object, or several; whether we dwell on these objects, or run from them to others; and in whatever form or order we survey them, the act of the mind exceeds not a simple conception; and the only remarkable difference, which occurs on this occasion, is, when we join belief to the conception, and are persuaded of the truth of what we conceive. It is plain, that almost in every species of creatures, but especially of the nobler kind, there are many evident marks of pride and humility.
