I 121/122
Relation/KantVsHume: relations are not external to ideas.
HumeVsKant: each relation is external in their terms, e.g. equality is not a property of the figures themselves, e.g. neighboring and distant figures do not explain what neighborhood and distance is. Relation anticipates a synthesis. Space/time: space and time are in the mind only a composition, bearing relation through fiction. E.g. association: creates relation, but does not explain that distance is a relation.
Cf. >Properties/Chisholm.
>Association/Hume, >Mind/Hume.
I 135
Relations/Hume: relations cannot be derived from experience, they are effects of association principles external to the things (atomism).

>KantVsHume.
I 139
KantVsHume: relations are so far dependent on the nature of things, as things presuppose a synthesis as phenomena that result from the same source as the synthesis of relations. Therefore, the critical philosophy is not empiricism. There is an a priori, that means, the imagination is productive.
>Imagination/Hume, >Imagination/Kant.
I 145
Causality/Hume: causality is the only relation, from which something can be concluded.
