Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

Kant agreed with Hume that the physical world never experience certain knowledge directly that results in sense impressions, ideas and thus combined to form the laws of association. Kant believed that sensory impressions are built by the categories of thoughts and perceptions that ultimately results in the interaction between sensations and categories of thoughts. Kant also described the objects as a causality of physical realm that are regulated and modified by the categories of thoughts.

The concept of time greatly enhances the sensory information in the mind’s processes. There is no doubt that one sensation occurred after one another that conclude that there is nothing in the part of sensation that ultimately suggest the concept of time and exist a priori like situation. All notions of time such as “just recently”, “long ago” and “only yesterday” cannot come from experience, although they must be perceived by the priori category of time. Memory also superimposes a creation of mind that provides a sense of time.

Kant confirmed that an innate category of thought helps in characterizing the experience of space in the realm of physical world directly. Humans laid to exist independently and experience sensations by existing on the outer surfaces of the retina or in the brain. The sensations vary in distance, size and intensity that are distributed in space and projects out sensory impressions in a spatial arrangement.
