In the synthesis of phenomena, the manifold of our representations is always successive. We have nothing but one single dye to contemplate, in order to comprehend one of the most curious operations of the understanding. What this basis of cosmical unity may be in itself, we know not--we cannot discover from the idea; we merely know how we ought to employ the idea of this unity, in relation to the systematic operation of reason in the sphere of experience. I shall, therefore, restrict myself to the simple and equitable demand that such reasoners will demonstrate, from the nature of the human mind as well as from that of the other sources of knowledge, how we are to proceed to extend our cognition completely a priori, and to carry it to that point where experience abandons us, and no means exist of guaranteeing the objective reality of our conceptions. In conformity, however, with scholastic usage, we must permit it to occupy a place in metaphysics--but only as an appendix to it.
