Immanuel Kant - Epistemology

High key going to help me pass my exam.

Great explanation👏 thanks a million

My heart dropped when i heard the dog barked. Was listening to this using headphones at 4:14AM LOL

Thank you so much! Very good video.

I don’t understand one thing. One of the examples of categorization is “there is a potential for 100s of different dimensions to exist yet our brain categorizes it into 3”. However, kant doesn’t believe that we can know the Noumena exists because there isn’t a potential experience possible. Doesn’t that mean that we can’t know about the 100s of other possible dimensions since there is no possible potential experience?

rip the dog barking in such a smooth studying environment !!.. its a big distraction

Oh my God, the dog bark almost gave me stroke!

Lol. That dog barking.

Informative

Did Kant think ones phenomena included the existence of a soul which contains various lived experiences.

Knowledge is not possible without experience. Actually knowledge comes not with any sensory experience but rather reflecting on experience. Animals have experience but no knowledge. They cannot form concepts whereas humans can. Mind is foundational not matter.

Just from their meaning alone as words I would have thought phenomena were located ‘in the world’ and noumena located ‘in consciousness’ the other way round from what is here presented.

The best part of your video is your hand writing 😂

I'm understanding that, in Kant's view, we do not have knowledge of reality as it is, only to things as they appear. So knowledge can never be certain, or even approach certainty, and can only be apparent.

And I'm hearing Kant placed god outside the realm of this knowledge. Logically this would mean we cannot 'know' god, or even "know of" god. If so, this would be a very tricky position for Kant to politically navigate because at that time denial or querying of god was well beyond a career limiting decision.

Lucid explaination, thanks!

Kant was deluded. Hume can not be overcome. The German ubermensch couldn't square empiricism and science. His transcendental induction was more like a replacement of empiricism. Instead of consciousness confirming scientific theories: empirical observation confirming science; Kant proposes the "transcendental induction". What is that? It is the reliance on algorithm to confirm science. The procedure of arriving at a conclusion, if it is based on Kant's categories and operations of understanding.
We do not need to observe Nature to understand that the interior angles of a 2 dimensional triangle add up to 180 degrees. Which is ...meaningful, but is it true? How do we prove its true?
On the other hand the position of Mercury on a certain date on the calendar should be ...? How do we prove that?
Mathematical proofs, as concluded by Godel, have no empirical foundation. They rely on trust. Trust in unprovable assumptions. Assumptions like lines are made of points, the real number line, imaginary and complex and irrational numbers. What is written on a chalkboard and is told to be memorized is make believe. The number zero and one do not exist as noumena: things in themselves. The only have existence like Bugs Bunny has existence. Try proving Bugs Bunny is real. He's just as real as numbers. He is not a "form of the understanding". He's a delusion. Useful when you want a laugh, but otherwise...unscientific.

Great explanation ❤

I am a set of a’ priori modes, not a body of limbs and organs. We need to move beyond the notion of “We”. Human is a loose notion at best. In essence, the body/conduit has no fixed predicate in the abstract lens so the premise is incorrect. What is it of us, that knows this?
Until we know more, we are a set of a’ priori modes trying to stabilise our line in an ocean of dissipating variables. We should define ourselves in this manner. We are a set of modes that allow for systematic alignment. A set synthesised with realities structures and stresses. Understanding this is the next step. Everything else is tied up in a field of inverted axioms and that path is a dead end.

Human is not part of the way I think. I’m beyond it. I don’t know what I am only that I am not the body. I am a set of modes as I said and until I know more…

amazing video, youre saving my life rn

The dog barked right when he talked about the "world in itself".

That's undeniable proof (just trust me on this one) that dogs can experience the world in itself.

Well done!

I trusted YOU
