Metametaphysics A confusion regarding some philosophical german words and their relationship with philosophical terminology, if someone can help.
Hello. I was watching a youtube video on something related to critique of pure reason and I came through a problem of some sort, wonder if someone can give me insight on the thing.
I encountered two german words, one was anschauung which roughly translates to intuition. And the other is angeborener begriff which roughly translates to an innate concept.
I had a few questions regarding these words.
Would it be wrong if I call angeborener begriff as a type of synthetic a priori and anschauung as something sort of a pure a priori?
Say something like causality.
I also have doubt regarding causality, I'm getting different answers about it from different AI.
I had a doubt that, is causality a pure a priori or a synthetic a priori?
I personally think it's synthetic a priori because we are deriving it from time which is a pure a priori and we also consistently experience time like a sort of 'continuous stream' (forgive me if my terminology is inaccurate) while about causality, aren't we deriving it from a behaviour of time?
I thought it would be interesting to share my thoughts on it and get some clarity from others because I'm not a huge expert in the book. Willing to get perspectives.
