Kant- External and Internal Experineces

Kant discusses internal and external experiences. External experiences mean experiences that occur through our senses, through our bodies, and internal would be our souls. So far, it is safe to say that Descarte, Locke and Hume have all agreed on the same topic of mind and body as two separate entities that make up a human structure. Our body is designed for mechanisms, to carry out what our minds want us to do. Together they work to create and complete tasks. However, some people are not in touch with their internal soul and therefore get lost and lose connection.

Kant,- Nature IS possible

Kant brings up the topic of nature of page 56. The question that he is ultimately asking is, “how is nature possible?” The answer to that question is quite obvious because nature is something that just simply exists. We can breathe in air, we can touch the grass, and we can, see hear, feel, and taste rain. These aren’t properties that we assume or make up, they are properties that are obvious, and that everyone is capable of sensing them. We live in the natural world. We are not always aware of the importance of our natural resources simply because they were there first and we did not ask for them to be put there. Therefore nature is possible because we as humans did not create it ourselves, which means that it is not an opinion nor is it questionable by any means by a human being.

Kant:Cause And Effect

The idea of cause and effect is a pure product of the human understanding, and its range at least seems to expand beyond objects of human experience. However Kant was cautious to note that such a priori concepts cannot be practical to things in themselves because an application would be synthetic. Mere analysis of concepts reveals nothing about the existence of things and their properties. Cause and effect makes sense in Kants terms. One you have the reason and foundation, then you get the result or outcome of a situation.

Kant: Experiences

Kant says our knowledge is resulting from experience; it is possible to have knowledge of objects in progress of experience. Kant saw that there are two resources of human knowledge: sensibility and understanding. He thought that the way in which we perceive, identify, and reflect upon objects might have a structure which contributes to our experience. I agree with Kant on this because in order for a person to understand things or do, they need to experience them, and that is how we percieve. I know that for myself, when I knew how to do things that I was more comfortable through experiences because you learn more from past experiences and percieve.

Impressions

What Kant called "imagination" creates our sense impressions with our concepts of understanding, and does them pleasantly, so that we have confidence in the realism of ourselves and of the outside world. Impresssions are a vital aspect to most people. For example, people want to show themselves good the first day because they think the first impression matters. I know through experiences that first impression does make a difference in a person, but then later on that is not what the persons personality really is because you do not know them good enough. Later on, the person will react in a different way, but the first impression will tell you more of a person . For example, when a person goes for an interview, the interviewers get an impression of the person based on their clothing and their way of talking.

Synthetic a Priori

Synthetic a priori judgments are the vital case, because only they could provide new information that is necessarily true but neither Leibniz nor Hume considered the possibility of any of it. Kant sustained that synthetic a priori judgments not only are possible but actually supply the basis for major portions of human knowledge. He supposed that arithmetic and geometry include such judgments and that natural science depends on them for its power to explain and guess events. Kant questioned how are synthetic a priori judgments possible at all? I think that is a good question that Kant asked.The only issue is that people might be good at solving problems or in math, but we learn to know how to solve the problems trough steps

Kant:Perception

"Quite another judgement therefore is required before perception can become experience."

It is necessary that the perception should be included under some such a concept of the understanding. For example, air ranks under the concept of causes, which decides our judgment about it in view to its expansion as hypothetical. In that way, the expansion of the air is symbolized as belonging to it necessarily. In the judgment situation, "the air is elastic," becomes universally suitable, and a judgment of experience, only by certain judgments foregoing it, which includes the intuition of air under the perception of cause and effect.
