I am therefore using this medium to solicit for your assistance. The imagination conceives the simple object at once, with facility, by a single effort of thought, without change or variation. Besides, without seeking for such examples of principles existing a priori in cognition, we might easily show that such principles are the indispensable basis of the possibility of experience itself, and consequently prove their existence a priorI. For whence could our experience itself acquire certainty, if all the rules on which it depends were themselves empirical, and consequently fortuitous? To this I reply, that in judging of the actions of men we must proceed upon the same maxims, as when we reason concerning external objects. Hence truth and error, consequently also, illusory appearance as the cause of error, are only to be found in a judgement, that is, in the relation of an object to our understanding. If, however, we wish to employ these conceptions in respect of objects, previous transcendental reflection is necessary. The FIRST may be explained after this manner. We may therefore consider the relation of CONTIGUITY as essential to that of causation; at least may suppose it such, according to the general opinion, till we can find a more [Part IV. SECT. 5.] proper occasion to clear up this matter, by examining what objects are or are not susceptible of juxtaposition and conjunction.
