Consequently only the second way remains So that one may not prematurely take issue with the worrisome and disad vantageous consequences of this proposition, I will only mention that the cat egories are not restricted in thinking by the conditions of our sensible intuition, but have an unbounded field, and only the cognition of objects that we think, the determination of the object,b requires intuition; in the absence of the latter, the thought of the object can still have its true and useful consequences for the use of the subject's reason, which, however, cannot be ex pounded here, for it is not always directed to the determination of the object, thus to cognition, but rather also to that of the subject and its willing.
