S/P/99. Explain and evaluate Kant's distinction between Judgments of Perception and Judgments of Experience.

This essay critically examines Kant's distinction between judgments of perception and judgments of experience which plays an important part in Kant’s attempt to achieve three main aims:(i) that Kant wishes to show that conceptual thought has a genuine, though limited sphere of application (ii) to refute Humean scepticism (iii) to establish the possibility of a priori or non-empirical knowledge of the basic principles of natural science.
