“When legal scholars discuss legal entitlements, they distinguish between what is lawful (quid juris) and what concerns facts (quid facti). They call the first the deduction. We use many empirical concepts without anyone objecting, because we always have experience on hand to prove their objective reality [e.g. ‘blue’ or ’table’]. But there are also usurped concepts, such as fortune and fate, which circulate with indulgence, that are occasionally called upon to establish their claim by the question quid juris? Then there is embarrassment because no one can show an entitlement to using them, neither from experience nor from reason.”
- Kant, Critique of Pure Reason A84 (condensed)
