English commentary: Kant "treats this idea" - i.e. "that we 'intuit everything in God'" -" as something that either itself furnished, or else is necessarily connected with, a formal principle of unity. Ths Spinozistic principle is what governs the investigation of the formal determinacy of cognition ('das Formale der Erkenntnis'), and Kant clearly weighs the option of making it a, if not the, founding principle of his transcendental theory." (p. 45)
