Now this synthetical unity, as the a priori condition under which I conjoin the manifold of an intuition, is, if I make abstraction of the permanent form of my internal intuition (that is to say, of time), the category of cause, by means of which, when applied to my sensibility, I determine everything that occurs according to relations of time.

 This cause--even although it is regarded as absolutely necessary--must be presented to us in time, and must belong to the series of phenomena. But we must observe, that in these cases the first object is in a manner annihilated before the second comes into existence; by which means, we are never presented in any one point of time with the idea of difference and multiplicity: and for that reason are less scrupulous in calling them the same. Grant that a thing absolutely begins to be; we must then have a point of time in which it was not. But things in space and time are given only in so far as they are perceptions (representations accompanied with sensation), therefore only by empirical representation.
