The passage in question is signified by Kant’s argument concerning “natural science” in which he puts forward a two-step system concerning human interpretation of the natural world and the application of our sensory data whereby we make sensory information intelligible.

The argument therefore follows that there must be “Equality” in order for two objects to be compared; we can say two objects are equal but they do not possess true “Equality”. “Equality” in its true form cannot be experienced because it is a conception of what it means for two things to be perfectly equal. Even though we can conceive the idea of equality‚ we can not experience it‚ and neither can we do so whilst in the body‚ (iep.com). Since equality cannot be experienced through the body‚ it must

If all the premises are not true then the conclusion will be false‚ making the argument invalid. The first premise we are presented with states that we perceive ordinary objects. This premise is true because people have

There are many different sides to the argument about how the universe was created; one of the most prominent of these arguments is the Teleological argument‚ also known as the argument from design. The argument from design is based around the idea that the universe is too complex to have just appeared. William Paley uses a wrist watch as an example to describe this idea in more depth. Although there are many other idea that attempt to prove that there is not a creator‚ such as Darwin’s theory of
