In this work, I analyse an argument presented in the Reflexion of Leningrad, in which Kant tries to establish the dependence between inner and outer sense, grounding it in a strong connection between succession and simultaneity. I intend to prove that this connection can be understood in the light of the neccessary relationship between a subjective inner order and an objective outer order, from which it is followed that empirical apperception is always cosmological apperception, i.e. it is consciousness of ourselves not only as psycological but also as physical entities in the world
