Document Summary
What your observing, gives you information on your perspective. A priori principles are really more about our own perspective and how our. Everything has a cause, believes that is an a priori claim. Peer into the essence of being, through a priori reasoning mind constructs ideas and experiences. Synthetic a priori knowledge only happens because it shows a glimpse on how mind constructs appearance. One coherent image in front, illusions can trick the mind to create inaccurate images. Mind constructs representation of image in front of you, a priori simply constructs them and is related causally. For empiricists, ideas were impressions and the mind is passive. Kant believes the mind is active and takes data to make representations that conform to a priori principles. Challenge of determinism which is basically the idea that every event or occurrence is caused, and causes make their effects happen. An inevitable result from what happened before.
