Without this, all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing.”

But the concepts of metaphysical knowledge do not in themselves fully satisfy the demand of our integral being. They are indeed entirely satisfactory to the pure reason itself, because they are the very stuff of its own existence.
