is a merely analytic proposition that follows from the concept of a sum
of seven and five in accordance with the principle of contradiction. Yet
if one considers it more closely, one finds that the concept of the sum
of 7 and 5 contains nothing more than the unification of both numbers
in a single one, through which it is not at all thought what this single
number is which comprehends the two of them. The concept of twelve
is by no means already thought merely by my thinking of that unifica
tion of seven and five, and no matter how long I analyze my concept of
such a possible sum I will still not find twelve in it. One must go beyond
these concepts, seeking assistance in the intuition that corresponds to
one of the two, one's five fingers, say, or (as in Segner's arithmetic)!7 five
points, and one after another add the units of the five given in the intu
ition to the concept of seven. cFor I take first the number 7, and, as I
take the fingers of my hand as an intuition for assistance with the con
cept of 5, to that image of mine I now add the units that I have previ-
B 16 ously taken together in order to constitute the number 5 one after
another to the number 7, and thus see the number I 2 arise. That 7
should be added to 5 I have, to be sure, thought in the concept of a sum
= 7 + 5, but not that this sum is equal to the number I 2 . The arith
metical proposition is therefore always synthetic; one becomes all the
more distinctly aware of that if one takes somewhat larger numbers, for
it is then clear that, twist and turn our concepts as we will, without get
ting help from intuition we could never find the sum by means of the
mere analysis of our concepts.
