Чтобы понять Канта, нужно читать его предложения, как стихи Маяковского.

When the question relates
                                            merely to 
                                                            what is,
Not to that 
                   which 
                              ought to be,
The conditioned,
                               which is
                                              presented in experience
Is always
                  cogitated
                                   as contingent.

For this reason
                           its condition

cannot 
             be regarded                                      
                                   as absolutely 
                                                          necessary,
but merely
                    as relatively
                                          necessary,
or, rather, 
                   as
                           needful.


the condition is in itself and a priori a mere arbitrary presupposition in aid of the cognition, by reason, of the conditioned.”

--- Kant, Immanuel, The Critique of Pure Reason. Section 36.
