It is an operation of the understanding on sensibility, and the first application of the understanding to objects of possible intuition, and at the same time the basis for the exercise of the other functions of that faculty. But we are speaking here merely of phenomena in space and time, both of which are determinations of sensibility, and not of things in themselves. Now, independently of sensibility, we cannot possibly have any intuition; consequently, the understanding is no faculty of intuition.
