Kant's argument on Metaphysics

He believe that metaphysical cognition must consist obly apriori judgment.

According to the standford encyclopedia of philosophy, "one of Kant's main complaints is that metaphysicians seek to deduce a priori synthetic knowledge simply from the unschematized (pure) concepts of the understanding. The effort to acquire metaphysical knowledge through concepts alone, however, is doomed to fail, according to Kant, because (in its simplest formulation) “concepts without intuitions are empty”"

Kant's judgemnt on experience.

Kant said," ......we can know more of any object than belongs to the possible experience of it or lay claim to the least knowledge of how anything not assumed to be an object of possible experience is determined according to the constitution that it has in itself. For how could we determine anything in this way, simce time, space, and all the concepts formed by empirical intuition in the sensible would have an d could have no other use than to make experience possibly?"
(page 85)
Kant is saying that if something that happened once doesn't mean it's going to happen again the same way because the second time all factor will change that can effect the event.

Kant's concept on how Mathematic is a priori!

According to Kant, "all mathematical cognition has this peculiarity: it must first exhibit its concept in intuition, and do so a priori, in an intuition that is not empirical but pure."

I think i disagree with Kant, I believe that math is not A Pirori which means that knowledge that is independent of observation. If math is A Pirori than that much mean that math is inate!

A critical examination of the nature of the thinking and perceiving mind!

Kant tells us that reality is a joint creation of external reality and the human mind and that it is only regarding the latter that we can acquire any certain knowledge. Kant challenges the assumption that the mind is a blank slate or a neutral receptor of stimuli from the surrounding world. The mind does not simply receive information, according to Kant, it also gives that information shape. Knowledge, is not something that exists in the outside world! knowledge is something created by the mind by filtering sensations through our various mental faculties. These faculties determine the shape that all knowledge takes, we can only grasp what knowledge, and learn truth.

On the Determination of the bounds of pure reason

Kant( The Clearest arguments having been adduced, it would be absurb for us to hope that we can know more of any object than belongs to the possible experience of it or lay claim to the least knowledge of how anything not assumed to be an object of possible experinece is determine according to the consitution that it has in itself) pg 85 I believe that kant means by that everything is base on expereince that with experinece you gain knowledge and more experience. I agree with him, without experincwe we think we have knowledge but its wrong because you need to go through experiences in order to gain knowledge.

What is a Normal good sense?

Kant( It is the faculty of the knowledge and use of rules in concreto, as distinguished from the speculative unsderstanding, which faculty of knowing rules in abstracto. Common sense can hardly unsderstand the rule that every event is determine by means of its cause and can never comprehends it thus generally. It therefore demands an example from experience; and when it hears that this rules means nothing but what it always thought pg 103) What he means is that true knowledge is something sure and distinguishesd. Now common sense you could hardly understand it, and that it comes from a cause that can never be understand it. For example with common sense you could confirm by experience.

Rationalism and Empiricism

Kant and Hume agree on something and that is when kant draws the idea that pure reason is capable of significant knowledge but rejects the idea that pure reason can tell us anything about things in themselves. From empiricism, he draws the idea that knowledge is essentially knowledge from experience but rejects the idea that we can have no necessary and universal truths from experience.
