Immanuel Kant’s A Priori Knowledge and Time
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses Immanuel Kant’s meaning regarding the “two pure
forms of sensible intuition” being “a priori knowledge” and
“time” as discussed in his Critique of Pure Reason published in
1781. Kant (1724-1804) believed individual thought to be the
framework by which the individual was able to determine the
appropriate category into which one thought process or pattern
would fit over another. One of his first statements in the
Critique is that: “In the order of time, therefore, we have no
knowledge antecedent to experience, and with experience all our
knowledge begins.” This paper looks at what he means by such a
ststaement and how it relates to the nature and relaity of space
and time. Bibliography lists one source.
