Kant vs Hume: Can We Access Reality?
Briefly

David Hume and Immanuel Kant represent two divergent philosophical paths regarding our understanding of reality. Hume expressed skepticism about our ability to truly know the reasons and truths underlying human experience, particularly concerning causality. In contrast, Kant proposed a transformative approach, asserting that to grasp the relationship between our perceptions and the external world, we must examine our cognitive processes. This dialogue between empirical doubt and a more structured understanding of knowledge continues to shape philosophical discourse on reality and perception.
Hume highlighted that humans may never truly grasp the fundamental truths behind experiences, suggesting doubt in our understanding of causality and reality.
Kant's philosophy provides a new perspective, proposing that our understanding is shaped by our psychological framework, thus influencing our knowledge of the physical world.
