In the one case, reason proceeds according to conceptions and can do nothing more than subject phenomena to these--which can only be determined empirically, that is, a posteriori--in conformity, however, with those conceptions as the rules of all empirical synthesis.

 And this for two reasons; first, because such hypothesis do not advance reason, but rather stop it in its progress; secondly, because this licence would render fruitless all its exertions in its own proper sphere, which is that of experience. She has thus fortified reason against all affirmations of the contrary. This is the great utility of the sceptical mode of treating the questions addressed by pure reason to itself.
