All our reasonings concerning the probability of causes are founded on the transferring of past to future.

 The cause of the superiority which, in this respect, transcendental philosophy possesses above all other sciences except mathematics, lies in this; it treats of conceptions which must relate a priori to their objects, whose objective validity consequently cannot be demonstrated a posteriori, and is, at the same time, under the obligation of presenting in general but sufficient tests, the conditions under which objects can be given in harmony with those conceptions; otherwise they would be mere logical forms, without content, and not pure conceptions of the understanding. and, Is there a future life? For this reason, we ought to explain and define sciences, not according to the description which the originator gives of them, but according to the idea which we find based in reason itself, and which is suggested by the natural unity of the parts of the science already accumulated. The number of fractions bring it no nearer the last division, than the first idea it formed. This pain chiefly takes place, where interest, relation, or the greatness and novelty of any event interests us in it. How about tomorrow? 
This is our natural and most familiar way of thinking; but which we shall learn to correct by a little reflection.
 [Footnote 6.] The transcendental principle of the complete determination of all things is therefore merely the representation of the sum-total of all reality; it is not a conception which is the genus of all predicates under itself, but one which comprehends them all within itself. What then are time and space?
