But in the Critique itself it will be demonstrated, not hypothetically, but apodeictically, from the nature of our representations of space and time. Men always consider the sentiments of others in their judgment of themselves. That is to say, the consciousness of my own existence is at the same time an immediate consciousness of the existence of other things without me. Nor would this silence be an effect only of their respect, but also of their prudence; since it is certain, that in the vast variety of circumstances, which occur in all governments, an exercise of power, in so great a magistrate, may at one time be beneficial to the public, which at another time would be pernicious and tyrannical. The last only are both exposed to the violence of others, and may be transferred without suffering any loss or alteration; while at the same time, there is not a sufficient quantity of them to supply every one's desires and necessities. For as conditions of all existence in general, space and time must be conditions of the existence of the Supreme Being also. The same holds good of the notion of extinction, for this presupposes the empirical representation of a time, in which a phenomenon no longer exists. In like manner, the subject, in which the representation of time has its basis, cannot determine, for this very reason, its own existence in time.
