Now all our intuitions are sensuous, and our cognition, in so far as the object of it is given, is empirical. Nature has, therefore, chosen a medium, and has neither bestowed on every idea of good and evil the power of actuating the will, nor yet has entirely excluded them from this influence. Throw any considerable goods among men, they instantly fall a quarrelling, while each strives to get possession of what pleases him, without regard to the consequences. If we are only conscious that there is a difference, but are not conscious of the difference--that is, what the difference is- the representation must be termed obscure. Besides, philosophy, as well as mathematics, treats of quantities; as, for example, of totality, infinity, and so on. Being thus loosened from our first station, we cannot afterwards fix ourselves so commodiously by any means as by a sympathy with those, who have any commerce with the person we consider.
