What do you think Kant means when he discusses a priori knowledge in the context of discerning the true or 'original' nature of any thing? Do you think his theory is reasonable enough that the scientific method could be applied to test its validity? um sori wss that for me?? Can i phone a friend? you as confused as I am?

Hehe, a priori knowledge is independent of experience. Kant believed that we have understanding that existed independent of our life's experience. Some people use this idea to explain how some people come into this world and somehow appear to know more than they were ever taught. Separately, but relevantly, Kant believes that objects have two appearances, both true: That we perceive things through our senses and because of our senses we see a filtered concept of an actual object. The implication being that objects have a 'true' or 'original' appearance outside what our experience tells is true, though he would never say that objects as they appear are not true because of the filtering. He believes then, that based on this idea, this a priori concept, that objects could possibly be discerned as they really are, and not as they appear to be, if we had some way of perceiving them without filters. This raises some interesting questions like- what do our senses filter, if anything? If they do filter some things how would we ever know it? Even if we did know it how could we change it?

How would you change you concept of how you actually visualize objects?

How would you change you concept of how you actually visualize objects? That is the question isn't it. The only quantifiable, testable way I could think of is to imagine different ways of examining an object and then performing tests to see if the metaphyiscal experiment worked. The problem with that is that any acceptable measure of testing requires use of the senses. Which leads me to wonder- can anything be measured or understood without sensation of one kind or another? What does a person born with the absence of all sensation think?

Do you believe those born without a sense of sensation at all feel anything at all at any time?
