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.

We do learn a lot from past experiences, but we also are taught things. Not everything we do is from experience.
