The conceptions of the understanding make us acquainted, among many other kinds of unity, with that of the causality of a substance, which is termed power.

 For we are not speaking here of an absolutely first beginning in relation to time, but as regards causality alone. The second is passive--the causality in the cause itself beginning to operate (fit). A causality of freedom is also necessary to account fully for these phenomena. Or, if I represent to myself something which is so constituted that, when it is posited, something else follows always and infallibly, my thought contains no self-contradiction; but whether such a property as causality is to be found in any possible thing, my thought alone affords no means of judging. 
Let it be supposed, that there is no other kind of causality than that according to the laws of nature.
