For merely to imagine also an external sense, would annihilate the faculty of intuition itself which is to be determined by the imagination.] Thus of two objects, which are both heavy, the one may be either of greater, or less weight than the other. In the idea, pure reason possesses even causality and the power of producing that which its conception contains. We must go beyond these conceptions, and have recourse to an intuition which corresponds to one of the two--our five fingers, for example, or like Segner in his Arithmetic five points, and so by degrees, add the units contained in the five given in the intuition, to the conception of seven. It is very remarkable that we cannot perceive the possibility of a thing from the category alone, but must always have an intuition, by which to make evident the objective reality of the pure conception of the understanding. Every lively idea is agreeable, but especially that of a passion, because such an idea becomes a kind of passion, and gives a more sensible agitation to the mind, than any other image or conception. It has therefore empirical principles, although, at the same time, it is in so far general, that it applies to the exercise of the understanding, without regard to the difference of objects. Besides, we may easily observe, that in all those arguments there is an evident reasoning in a circle.
