Where an opinion admits of no doubt, or opposite probability, we attribute to it a full conviction: though the want of resemblance, or contiguity, may render its force inferior to that of other opinions.

 Let us then make the experiment whether we may not be more successful in metaphysics, if we assume that the objects must conform to our cognition. For this reason, every transition in perception to anything which follows upon another in time, is a determination of time by means of the production of this perception. If it happens that in both cases the answer is mere nonsense, we have in this an irresistible summons to institute a critical investigation of the question, for the purpose of discovering whether it is based on a groundless presupposition and relates to an idea, the falsity of which would be more easily exposed in its application and consequences than in the mere representation of its content.
