104 HUME m 



schauungen, als die reinen Verstandesbegriffe betrifft, so 

 sind sie Elemente der Erkenntniss die in uns a priori 

 angetroffen werden." Kritik der reinen Vernunft Eh- 

 mentarlehre, p. 185. 



Without a glossary explanatory of Kant's terminology, 

 this passage would be hardly intelligible in a translation ; 

 but it may be paraphrased thus : All knowledge is founded 

 upon experiences of sensation, but it is not all derived from 

 those experiences ; inasmuch as the impressions of relation 

 (** reine Anschauungen " ; " reine Verstandesbegriffe ") have 

 a potential or d priori existence in us, and by their addition 

 to sense-experiences, constitute knowledge.
