Kant argues that the transcendental unity of self-consciousness, which is produced by the original apperception, is a necessary condition for the possibility of experience. He claims that without the unity of self-consciousness, all of our perceptions would be unrelated and disconnected, and we would have no way to connect them into a meaningful experience.

In other words, Kant believes that the unity of self-consciousness provides the necessary framework for organizing and synthesizing the various contents of our experience. This unity is a priori because it is a necessary condition for the possibility of any experience at all.

By positing the transcendental unity of self-consciousness, Kant argues that we can have a priori knowledge of the necessary conditions for the possibility of experience. This knowledge is not based on empirical observation or sensory experience but is instead derived from the structure of our own consciousness.
