Excellent explanation! You've helped me understand where Kant tried to improve on Hume's work cheers!

@blacksaladrainbow In a sense, yes - the "external world" as we know it (spacio-temporal) is our subjective construct. However, we can never know anything about the real external world (Ding an sich). My opinion is - when you can never know anything about something, you might as well say, that it doesn't exist (for you) - much like Berkeley did.

Hey Dr Campbell, do you think definite parallels could be drawn between Kants Synthetic A Priori and The Socratic Paradox. In Meno, Socrates states that ''we are recalling information from a past life'' This could definitely be seen as saying that we have some inbuilt ability to perceive reality, independent of actually experiencing any particular reality or situation.

Big thanks for puttin this up and explaining it so clearly, you've done me a massive favour.
-
if, according to Kant, the categories of the sensibility (space and time) come from the human mind, wouldn't that make the existence of the external world subjective as it depends on the human mind??

you had my full attention until u used a box as an example! lol but great vid!

I find Kant a relatively difficult philosopher to understand

Thank you so mutch for this post it has helped me to understand Hume and Kant much better.
Where you gave the analogy of the box, I found the most insight. Yes! It seems to be a failure of the mind and not the object. Nice wording!

@freetaught Thanks...you got the point exactly! The limitation is not one that should be imposed on the structures of the external world, rather, in this example it is our own cognitive limitation.

Dr. Campbell you are a legend!
Had to write an essay about Free Will vs Determinsim and this helped immensly in my argument and getting my head around the terms and ideas. I even quoted you.
Wish I had you as my philosophy lecturer...you make it all comprehensible.
Cheers!
