Critique of Judgement

Philosophy may be said to contain the principles of the rational cognition that concepts afford us of things (not merely as with logic the principles of the form of thought in general irrespective of the objects) and thus interpreted the course usually adopted of dividing it into theoretical and practical is perfectly sound. But this makes imperatgvive a specific distinction on the part of the concepts by which the principles of this rational cognition get their object assigned to them for if the concepts are not distinct they fail to justify a division which always presupposes that the principles belonging to the rational cognition of the several parts of the science in question are themselves mutually exclusive.
