But when we consider the same actions in relation to reason--not for the purpose of explaining their origin, that is, in relation to speculative reason, but to practical reason, as the producing cause of these actions--we shall discover a rule and an order very different from those of nature and experience.

 And nature (considered merely as nature in general) is dependent on them. These actions are properly what we call justice; and consequently it is on that virtue that the nature of property depends, and not the virtue on the property. We possess two expressions, world and nature, which are generally interchanged. Regard now with attention the nature of these passions, and their situation with respect to each other. The above remarks are of the greatest importance, not only for the confirmation of our previous confutation of idealism, but still more when the subject of self-cognition by mere internal consciousness and the determination of our own nature without the aid of external empirical intuitions is under discussion, for the indication of the grounds of the possibility of such a cognition.
