Kant & the problem of modern philosophy

. We can obviously say that there was a creator, which is a material truth. Perhaps this best explains Hume’s basis of skepticism. an image of reality that was not possible with Hume, for he instilled a level of confidence through recognition of our limits. We can never know the whole of our experience because there is always the possibility of a contrasting event altering our understanding. If a further statement were made, you would be crossing the line from the phenomenal to the noumenal. However, the assurance that these representations are accurate lies in the theory that material objects presuppose our experience and understanding through the use of our senses. However, by this point we know for a fact that a material truth exists. This is relevant because we view ourselves as existing in an objective spaceo-temporal order, meaning that everything is conditional allowing thought not to be just limited to the mind. When we speak of God we don’t create the dogmatic assumptions that Hume describes, rather we construct symbolic explanations that relate different things to allow characterization.

Kant’s theory comes into consideration at this point for Hume’s skepticism has now contradicted itself. Therefore, we constitute our experiences through intuitions, which allows understanding to occur. However, what ensures that these representations are accurate?

The fact of the matter is that one can deduce from Hume’s theory that knowledge derived from experience is uncertain. Kant uses the three transcendental ideas of psychological, cosmological, and theological (as they were illustrated by Hume) to portray how reason systematically unifies our experience.
