Innate Knowledge

The strength and amount of the Innate Concept differs with the ideas claiming to be innate. The further an idea seems distant from experience through mental processing the more we can rely on that experience. Although, experiencing pain our perception of the former thoughts is a more assuring in being innate. The Innate Concept and Knowledge are vital to rationalism. However, experience does not deliver the knowledge we get from reason. Reason is considered to be more valuable than experiences and as a foundation of knowledge. This can be obtained through sensory experiences (Stanford, 2015). Descartes views it as a priori of being certain, un-doubtable, our belief, and the perception of knowing, proving a certainty. Plato viewed it as superiority of a priori knowledge only in the variables that are known. Superior is considered to be an important component to metaphysical such as: eternal, unchanging, God, and perfect by awareness through …show more content…
This assumes that a synthetic judgment demands a synthesis of knowledge from other experiences. Kant realized through a priori synthetic knowledge it is achievable by implementing his theory on transcendental idealism. This is created through required conditions of pure natural science, mathematics, and metaphysics. His examination and research into mathematics has been the main component to understanding the possibilities of priori synthetic knowledge. This can be possible if transcendental methods are understood prior to empirical encounter and sensory experience. This can be achieved by organizing everything based on our intuition, necessary in space and time. Kant stresses if we remove empirical variables from our experiences and apply only objects of reasoning and understanding we are performing pure mathematics. By this means we can develop independent judgments of a priori. He also proves that pure natural science works the same way (Stanford,
