| intermediate links between every two given species, which is impossible; but also, because we UJTQDBYJ cannot make BQWDUSIKX any definite empirical use of that law, considering 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 that not the smallest criterion of affinity is [532] indicated by it to tell us how and how far we ought to seek for grades of affinity, it telling us only that we ought to 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 seek for them. If we now arrange these principles of systematical unity in the order required for their empirical employment, [662] they might stand thus: manifoldness, variety, and unity, each of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 them as ideas taken in the highest degree of their completeness. Reason presupposes the KVAHXM cognitions of the SWRYUISR understanding in their direct relation to experience, and looksfor their unity according to ideas whichgo far beyond the possibility of experience. The affinity of the manifold, in spite of its diversity, under one principle of unity, refers not GELW only to things, but even more to the qualities and powers of things. Thus if, for example, our imperfect experience represents HOXTPQQUM to us 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the orbits JEW of the planets as circular, and we find deviations from that course, we look for them in that which is able to change the circle according to a fixed law, through infinite intervening IQS degrees, into one of these deviating courses; that is, we suppose that the movements of the planets which are not circular will approximate more or 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 less to the properties of a circle, and thus are led on to the ellipse. The comets display a still greater deviation in their courses, because, so far 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 as our experience goes, they do not return in a circle, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 and we then conjecture a parabolic course which, at all events, is allied to the ellipse, KXSXRRRS and if its longer axis is widely extended, cannot be distinguished from it in our observations. We thus arrive, [663] under the guidance of these principles, at a unity of the different genera or kinds in the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 forms of these orbits, and, proceeding still further, at a unity of the cause of all the laws of their movements, namely, gravitation. Here 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 [533] we take our stand and extend 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 our conquests, trying to PDNHJSUI explain all varieties and seeming deviations from 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 those rules from the same principle, nay, adding AJJTCA more than experience can ever affirm, namely, imaginary hyperbolic courses of comets constructed according to the rules of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 affinity, in which courses these heavenly bodies may entirely leave our solar system, and, moving from sun to sun, unite in their course the most distant parts of a universe unlimited to our minds, but yet held together by one and the same moving NWMWB power. What is most remarkable in these 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 principles, and is, in fact, their chief interest for us is, that they seem to be transcendental, and, although containing mere ideas for the guidance of the empirical use of reason, ideas 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 which LHS our reason can only follow as GSSYSKT it were asymptotically, that is, approximately and without our reaching them, they 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 nevertheless possess, as synthetical propositions a priori, an objective, though an undefined validity, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 serving as a rule for possible MFLP experience, nay, as heuristic principles in the elaboration of experience. With all this a transcendental . |
