What did Kant mean by an a priori category of thought? According to Kant, how do such categories influence what we experience consciously?
Immanuel Kant proved wrong to Hume by postulating that some truths were certain and were not based on the subjective experiences. He also focused on Hume’s analysis of the causation as a major factor. Thus, Kant agreed with Hume that experience causes another thing to perform in a bad factor that led to the causal relationship and exit from the innate kind of thoughts processes.
Kant did not fully agree with the Hume to the importance of sensory interpretations. Although, it is attainable to thought that the mind has the ability to perceive some kind of data and actions that could be provided by the innate type of thinking process are known as priori categories of thought. It is more meaningful and modified by the thinking of mind’s action and thoughts. Kant proposed different categories of thoughts such as time, space, totality, unity, reality, quality, quantity, possibility and impossibility.
These categories of thoughts greatly influence the mental operations and actions of the one’s own body mind and thoughts. Without these categories, one could never define statements in a precise manner. These also influence the several different experiences to an entire class of events that majorly specifies the innate category of thinking and nurturing conscious experiences.
