This idea, accordingly, demands complete unity in the cognition of the understanding--not the unity of a contingent aggregate, but that of a system connected according to necessary laws. But every effective cause must possess a character, that is to say, a law of its causality, without which it would cease to be a cause. This law must, consequently, be based upon pure transcendental, and not upon empirical, considerations. This is a kind of superstitious practice in civil laws, and in the laws of nature, resembling the Roman catholic superstitions in religion. Hence it follows that the criterion of necessity is to be found only in the law of possible experience--that everything which happens is determined a priori in the phenomenon by its cause. In one word, they must be cosmological and relate to empirical laws.
