SECT. VII OF CONTIGUITY AND DISTANCE IN SPACE AND TIME

 And here it is observable, that the same length of time has a different influence on our sentiments of morality, according to its different influence on the mind. The same principle produces, in many instances, our sentiments of morals, as well as those of beauty. 

That logic has advanced in this sure course, even from the earliest times, is apparent from the fact that, since Aristotle, it has been unable to advance a step and, thus, to all appearance has reached its completion.

 And to prove this we need only appeal to the practice and sentiments of all nations and ages. But this "how many times" is based upon successive repetition, consequently upon time and the synthesis of the homogeneous therein. I came to know you in my Private Search for a Reliable and Reputable Person to handle this Confidential Transaction, which involves the transfer of Huge sum of Money to a Foreign Account requiring Maximum Confidence. When our fancy considers directly the sentiments of others, and enters deep into them, it makes us sensible of all the passions it surveys, but in a particular manner of grief or sorrow. It is absurd to expect to be enlightened by Reason, and at the same time to prescribe to her what side of the question she must adopt. But to show reasons for this peculiar character of our understandings, that it produces unity of apperception a priori only by means of categories, and a certain kind and number thereof, is as impossible as to explain why we are endowed with precisely so many functions of judgement and no more, or why time and space are the only forms of our intuition. But from the property of the fancy above-mentioned we rather chuse to fix our thought on the point of time interposed betwixt the present and the future, than on that betwixt the present and the past.
