Pure intuition consequently contains merely the form under which something is intuited, and pure conception only the form of the thought of an object. This phaenomenon clearly proves, that a present impression with a relation of causation may, inliven any idea, and consequently produce belief or assent, according to the precedent definition of it. When both the objects are present to the senses along with the relation, we call this perception rather than reasoning; nor is there in this case any exercise of the thought, or any action, properly speaking, but a mere passive admission of the impressions through the organs of sensation. The next question is, Of what nature are these impressions, and after what manner do they operate upon us?
