cause is no exception to the rule that all of our experiences still rise from the sense impressions and ideas that come from them. An example of this would be a fire and the heat that we feel from the fire. We know that the flame exists but we are inferring the existence of the heat as caused by the flame. According to Hume, we believe that events that are related are a custom or habit we gained from experience. As we observe the way in which certain events occur, we create an association of ideas that create the habit of us expecting the same outcome of the event when we experience the cause. “For wherever the repetition of any particular act or operation produces a propensity to renew the same act or operation, without being impelled by …show more content…
Like Hume, he rejected many ideas of previously Philosophers before him such as Plato. Kant had also come up with concepts of experience and causation in which they share some differences to that of the concepts of Hume. According to Kant, the human mind doesn’t just passively receive information. In fact, it actually actively shapes and makes sense of that which enters the mind through the senses. Kant also perceives that all the events we experience take place in time. Since our mind arranges sensory experiences in a temporal progression, if we perceive that some events cause others, our minds make sense of the events, one after the other in time, because our minds bring to the event the notion of time. From this progression, Kant argues we get notions of cause and …show more content…
This type of knowledge makes its first appearance from experiences but isn’t derived from them. All objects, therefore, are given to us in sense experience (similar to what Hume believed). Without A Priori knowledge, thing would just appear and disappear at will. We do not take time and space in through our senses are they are pre supposed by perception and are not a matter of sensation. Time, however, is a pre-condition to having a sensation, and time/space help organize our senses. Through this, the mind receives the input of the sense and organizes the raw data allowing us to have our own thoughts. If we were looking at space and time in the concept of “The Forms”, The Form would be the intuition of space and time, while the matter would be the senses. An example of this all coming together could be you seeing a truck on the road and recognizing the color of it and its overall existence as a physical object in space/time. For any of these experience to be realized time and space must always be present, as all of these things represent objective conditions for experiences in the
