Page 343 - For it really says nothing more than that in the whole time in which I am conscious of myself, I am conscious of this time as belonging to the unity of myself; and it comes to the same whether I say that this whole time...
Page 318 - ... apperception everything must necessarily accord with the conditions of the thoroughgoing unity of self-consciousness, which means that everything must be subject to universal functions of synthesis — synthesis according to concepts. By this means alone can apperception prove its thoroughgoing and necessary identity. For example, the concept of cause is nothing but a synthesis (of that which follows in the series of time with other phenomena...
Page 82 - We must then assume a pure transcendental synthesis as the necessary condition of all experience, for experience is impossible unless phenomena are capable of being reproduced. Now, if I draw a line in thought, or think of the time from one day to another, or even think of a certain number, it is plain that I must be conscious of the various determinations one after the other. But if the earlier determinations — the prior parts of the line, the antecedent moments of time, the units as they arise...
Page 335 - OF THE FIRST PARALOGISM OF PURE PSYCHOLOGY. WE have shown in the analytical part of the transcendental Logic that pure Categories (and among them that of substance) have in themselves no objective meaning...
Page 345 - Although the dictum of certain ancient schools, that everything in the world is in a flux and nothing is permanent and abiding, cannot be reconciled with the admission of substances, it is not refuted by the unity of self-consciousness. For we are unable from our own consciousness to determine whether, as souls, we are permanent or not.
Page 371 - LAW OF NATURAL NECESSITY. I HAVE thought it advisable to lay before the reader at first merely a sketch of the solution of this transcendental problem, in order to enable him to form with greater ease a clear conception of the course which Reason must adopt in the solution. I shall now proceed to exhibit the several momenta of this solution, and to consider them in their order. The natural law, that everything which happens must have a cause ; that the causality of this cause, that is, the action...
Page 309 - ... on which the possibility of experience depends, and which form its foundation, when we abstract from all that is empirical in phenomena. A concept which expresses this formal and objective condition of experience universally and adequately might be denominated a pure conception of the understanding.
Page 317 - ... objective reality of our empirical knowledge — depends on the transcendental law, that all phenomena (so far as objects are to be given us through them) must submit to the a priori rules of their synthetical unity, according to which their relation in empirical intuition is alone possible. In short, phenomena must in experience stand under the conditions of the necessary unity of apperception, just as they must stand in mere intuition under the formal conditions of space and time ; so that...
Page 371 - ... which it is determined, and, consequently, that all events are empirically determined in an order of nature — this law, I say, which lies at the foundation of the possibility of experience, and of a connected system of phsenomena or nature, is a law of the understanding, from which no departure, and to which no exception, can be admitted.
Page 350 - ... we shall distinguish empirically external objects from those possibly so called in a transcendental sense, by denominating them simply things which can be perceived in space. Space and Time are indeed representations a priori, present to us as forms of our sensuous intuition, before any real object has determined us by sensation to represent it under these sensuous...
