We observed first what essential services apperception performs for the human mind in the acquisition of new ideas, and for what an extraordinary easement and unburdening the acquiring soul is indebted to it.
On the contrary, when apperception is violated, and new knowledge is only half understood and assimilated there can be but little feeling of satisfaction.
By connecting isolated things with mental groups already formed, and by assigning to the new its proper place among them, apperception not only increases the clearness and definiteness of ideas, but knits them more firmly to our consciousness.
The outcome of a successful act of apperception is always a feeling of pleasure, or at least of interest.
The numerical unity of this apperceptiontherefore forms the a priori foundation of all conceptions, just as the multiplicity of space and time is the foundation of the perceptions of the sensibility.
But we can meet this nowhere else than in the principle of the unity of apperception as regards all cognitions which are to belong to me.
Synthetical unity of the manifold of perceptions, as given a priori, is therefore the ground of the identity of apperception itself, which precedes a priori all my determinate thinking.
