ABSTRACT
Kant did not attempt to prove these analogies by induction from experience or by the analysis of concepts. On the contrary, his proof had the structure of what he called a "transcendental argument." The basic idea of his very complicated proof can be seen in this passage:
Taken together, the analogies declare that all appearances lie, and must lie, in one nature, because without this a priori unity no unity of experience, and therefore no determination of objects in it, would be possible.32
