Kant 3

In class we talked about the possibility of perception happening due to an event. I really think that this is the case. It just seems to make sense. We precieve things in a certain way because of an event or how would we even know about it. Preceptions can be different for everyone but yet everyone will have some sort of preception one way or another. For instance if the power goes out, did you really think before it happened that its light or dark? It only happens after the fact that we precieve that it went from light to dark. I dont think many can disagree with this, at least I cant

Rachel, I completely agree with this idea. I think that much of our lives is based on experience because often things bother or scare us and we don't understand why. Often it is because they remind us of something else. I'm sure every one has had the experience where they percieve something as smelling or tasting gross because it reminds them of something that once made them sick... i think this falls along the same lines. Our lives revolve around past events and perceptions.
