All objections to this are only the chicanery of a falsely instructed reason, which erroneously thinks of freeing the objects of the senses from the formal condition of our sensibility, and, though they are mere appearances, represents them as objects in themselves, given to the understanding; in which case, certainly, nothing synthetic could be cognized of them a priori at all, thus not even through pure concepts of space, and the science that they determine, namely geometry, would not itself be possible.
