innate organising principles;

   

habit.

 

 

Question 5

1 / 1 pts

For Hume, the idea of cause and effect is problematic because

  

we never experience any impression of causal effect;

   

we cannot distinguish the real cause of an event from other possible causes;

   

causality is only an aspect of the innate organisation of our sensory systems rather than a real thing in the external world;

   

every cause can have multiple effects.

the source of our free will.

 

 

Question 7

For Kant, the transcendental self

  

is the direct object of our introspective experience;

   

can never be experienced because it is prior to any experience;

is just a name for a bundle of sensations.

 

 

Question 8

1 / 1 pts

One of the consequences of Kant's philosophy is that

  

our knowledge of the empirical world is fundamentally flawed;

   

we can never know the world as it is in itself;

   

perceptual experience is unimportant in gaining knowledge;

   

the concepts of space and time are learned.

 

 

Question 9

Synthetic a priori propositions, for Kant, give us information about

  

the empirical world and are themselves derived from experience

   

the empirical world but are not themselves derived from experience

logical truths and are not derived from experience.
