It is evident, that time or duration consists of different parts: For otherwise we coued not conceive a longer or shorter duration. For as the future will sometime be present, so the past was once present. For we are not speaking here of an absolutely first beginning in relation to time, but as regards causality alone. Thus there is a relation and connection between reality and negation, or rather a transition from the former to the latter, which makes every reality representable to us as a quantum; and the schema of a reality as the quantity of something in so far as it fills time, is exactly this continuous and uniform generation of the reality in time, as we descend in time from the sensation which has a certain degree, down to the vanishing thereof, or gradually ascend from negation to the quantity thereof. From these three relations we are apt to confound our ideas, and imagine we can form the idea of a time and duration, without any change or succession. Now every sensation has a degree or quantity by which it can fill time, that is to say, the internal sense in respect of the representation of an object, more or less, until it vanishes into nothing (= 0 = negatio). It therefore has subjective reality, in reference to our internal experience, that is, I have really the representation of time and of my determinations therein. We represented in these antinomies the conditions of phenomena as belonging to the conditioned according to relations of space and time- which is the usual supposition of the common understanding.
