Up to now it has been assumed that all our cognition must conform to the objects; but all attempts to find out something about them a priori through concepts that would extend our cognition have, on this pre-supposition, come to nothing. Hence let us once try whether we do not get farther with the problems of metaphysics by assuming that the ob-jects” must conform to our cognition, which would agree better with the requested possibility of an a priori cognition of them, which is to establish something about objects before they are given to us. - Kant, from Critique of Pure Reason Preface
- What are the attempts to find out something about them a priori through concepts that would extend our cognition have?”
- Before Kant:
- Thought about how we perceive the objects in the world
- Empiricists (a posteriori): Start with a blank slate (tabula rasa) and gradually recognize and understand the objects
- Rationalists (a priori): Already possess knowledge of various concepts of objects from the beginning
- In contrast, Kant: When we receive the objects of the world through intuition, we perceive them by fitting them into the framework of innate concepts that humans possess
- This is called the Copernican Revolution
- Counterargument to empiricism: Without the minimal innate framework of time, space, etc. (= understanding), wouldn’t we be unable to perceive or learn anything?
