When we examine men by the prejudice of skin, such as prevails in the United States, we are not long in discovering that it rests in great part on a misunderstanding: men mistake coexistence for amalgamation.

For the coexistence or succession of phenomena, i.e., their existence at the same time or at different times (from which, as many believe, the representation of time is abstracted), itself presupposes timea coexistence or succession is possible only in time.

The possibility of interchange in the series of perceptions proves an objective coexistence, the impossibility of this, an objective succession.

The ratio essendi is the law which regulates the coexistence of the parts of space and the succession of the divisions of time.

Forcibly as that great dramatist has depicted vice, and ably as he has sometimes shown its coexistence with physical energy and intellectual superiority,much as he may teach us to admire the villain for some of his attributes, he never confounds the limits of right and wrong.

What exists for thought, we are told, is at most the results that we illusorily ascribe to such activities, strung along the surfaces of space and time by regeln der verknüpfung, laws of nature which state only coexistences and successions.
