![]() For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses, and partly of themselves produce representations, partly rouse our powers of understanding into activity, to compare, to connect, or to separate these, and so to convert the raw material of our sensuous impressions into a knowledge of objects, which is called experience? In respect of time, therefore, no knowledge of ours is antecedent to experience, but begins with it.īut, though all our knowledge begins with experience, it by no means follows that all arises out of experience. THAT all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. Of the difference between pure and empirical knowledge. Immanuel Kant – On the Sources of Knowledge The Critique of Pure Reason INTRODUCTION I. ![]()
