Now on this standpoint, because this philosophical system relegates to consciousness every determinateness of things, both according to form and content, it falls in me, in the subject, whether I see the leaves of a tree not as black but green, the sun as round and not square, whether I taste sugar as sweet and not bitter; or again, whether I determine that the first and the second stroke of a clock are successive and not simultaneous, or that the first is cause and not effect, etc.
