The sum of all the possible objects of our cognition seems to us to be a level surface, with an apparent horizon- that which forms the limit of its extent, and which has been termed by us the idea of unconditioned totality.

To reach this limit by empirical means is impossible, and all attempts to determine it "a priori" according to a principle, are alike in vain. But all the questions raised by pure reason relate to that which lies beyond this horizon or, at lease, in its boundary line.

The celebrated David Hume was one of those geographers of human reason who believe that they have given a sufficient answer to all such questions, by declaring them to lie beyond the horizon of our knowledgeĐa horizon which, however, Hume was unable to determine.
