Of the Arguments employed by Speculative Reason in Proof of the Existence of a Supreme Being. Now to these conceptions relate four paralogisms of a transcendental psychology, which is falsely held to be a science of pure reason. If we review our cognitions in their entire extent, we shall find that the peculiar business of reason is to arrange them into a system, that is to say, to give them connection according to a principle. I dare be positive no one will ever endeavour to refute these reasonings otherwise than by altering my definitions, and assigning a different meaning to the terms of cause, and effect, and necessity, and liberty, and chance. You may know employers continually hire, promote and reward raises to new employees.
