![]() ![]() He maintained the justification of people in the application of forms of understanding in making a priori judgments and determinations of experience. He applied old ideas of reason and logic with no regard no or little understanding to the scientific world. He searched for the moral absolutes and failed to realize the local, experimental and emotional world. His distinction was used in the protest of the rationalist and empirical traditions. It helped overturn the philosophical views of the contemporaries and his predecessors. The distinction played a vital role in structuring the reality that is so familiar which is so difficult for people to see the crucial insight as suggested by Kant. His philosophical contributions continue to be discussed. His phenomena and noumenal distinction contributed to the social philosophy. Kant's change of focus to subjects' form objects through the cognitive capacities was influential in his philosophy, phenomenology, sociology, and constructivism. This balanced philosophical view paved the way for the avoidance of extremes. His distinction created a divided philosophical landscape that made room for philosophical views that were more balanced. ![]() It was a response to Hume's skepticism and Berkeley's idealism. His view that the possibility of metaphysics relies on the synthetic senses has impacted his philosophy. Kant's differentiation of a priori and a posteriori knowledge and the synthetic and analytic judgments were influential. His distinctions depicted the human mind to have a receptive capacity or a conceptual capacity that is important for understanding. However, Kant's argues that human beings are not able to contain knowledge of a realm that is beyond the empirical. The rationalists believed that human beings could possess the metaphysical knowledge about substance, souls, and God. Kant's arguments highlight the limitations of people's knowledge. Kant's phenomenal and noumenal distinction helped people to understand transcendental idealism. These unknown were important to Kant, and if they could become unknown, then the importance will alter. ![]() He argues that that which is not perceived by the human senses produce the idea in one mind. Kant suggests that the objects of which are knowable through the physical senses are mere representations of unknown things. According to Kant, we then obey the moral law. Whenever we choose to devise ways to act, they are inclined to follow nature that is working through us. If we can determine ourselves morally, then we can be free from time and space. The phenomenal world can be understood by time and space. He means not to be rationalists or classical empiricists he claims that all our knowledge solely depends on our experiences and analyzes the things that are known before the experience. Kant urges us not to be an idealist and suggests that there is an existence of a world independent of people's ideas. ![]() On the other hand, the noumenal world is comprised of ideas that transcends the phenomenal world concrete facts. The phenomenal world consists of the experiences in the world, for instance, the rocks, trees, conscious selves and the elements from which they are formed. Metaphysics seeks to surpass experience to discover the reality of nature. At this point, the concepts of understanding and forms of intuition become useless because its application only works on ones' world of experience. Although our knowledge of natural sciences and mathematics can easily yield to an analysis, the metaphysics a priori judgments are however difficult to understand. Kant suggests that science and math are true of the phenomena whereas metaphysics instruct us on noumena. However, even with the application of forms of understanding and sensible intuition concepts, we fail to learn anything of the noumenal realm. Kant argues that we can only achieve the systematic view of the phenomenal realm if only we can apply clear understanding concepts and sensible intuition forms. According to Kant, the fundamental laws of nature, for instance, the mathematics truths, are cognoscible primarily because they do not describe the reality of the world but instead, it relates to the structure of the world as people experience it. ![]()
