For the rest, Zöllner's popular investigations into Origin, End, Use, Harm, Publicity of Speculation, deviate too widely from those of Kant, for these latter to have been able to exercise an influence upon them in matters of detail.)

Through judgments of analogy we arrive at speculative, although not demonstrative knowledge of God and immortality.
