“ It is only a half-truth which the Kritik ceaselessly inculcates — that the understanding thinks sensuous material into law and order, the complementary truth being that the logical criteria of the synthesis must be sought in the material itself. Neglect of psychology is the radical defect of the Kantian criticism, and the attempt to retain its results as an independent epistemology has been highly unfavorable to the progress of philosophy. ”

“ The meaning of an "independent without," as concerning both epistemology and psychology, is further discussed in the conclusion, where the related work of the two sciences is marked out and the evidences of their interdependence summarized. To psychology belongs inquiry into the origin of concepts, while the special field of epistemology is the discovery and classification of the most general immediate truths of knowledge. ”

“ What may we think together, what not? The deduction of the categories shows at most that the mind has a tendency to unify its presentations, but not that the latter must conform themselves to the synthesis. ”
