![]() Freedom, determinism and the natural event An attempt to understanding Phenomena and Noumena. Other issues to be raised addressed during the research work includes: How do causes interact with their effect? This makes the work of utmost importance.Ĭonsequently, “A Critical Examination of Kant’s Noumenal Causality” which is the focus of this research rises as a result of the great attainment of the understanding of what the nature of causes and that of effect is. It is for the same reason that David Hume states that “to undermine the notion that every event must have a cause would shatter the foundation of science (Lawhead, 315). Hence, Kant in his” Critique of Pure Reason” discussed “causation” and this forms the interest of the research. Interestingly, the issue of causes and effects is of importance to the setting of the world. The notion of causation is simply put, as a philosophical problem explained in the area of metaphysics, it is the relationship between two events where one occurs, the other always follows, and where the first makes the latter occurs. The notion of causality has been one of the interesting topics raised in the discipline. This work is an exposition of Kant’s view on Noumenal causality, it’s a work that critically reflects on the Kantian concept of Noumena and it contrasting notion the phenomenon. Hume in support of this view opines that “To undermine the the notion that every event has a cause would shatter the foundations of science (Lawhead, 315). ![]() Kant’s Noumenal causality springs out from Hume’s notion of causality, Kant wrote in response to Hume’s causality.Ĭonsequently, the work is a result of the interest in understanding this part of the cosmos’ wonders “causality”, it becomes more interesting an area to research on having the knowledge that the the notion of causes and effect brings about the strength in the foundations of science. Gregory Pence, in Philosophical Dictionary of Common Terms defines causation “as one of the main philosophical problems explained in the area of metaphysics, it is the relationship between two events where, when one occurs’ the other always follows and where the first makes the latter occur (9). ![]() Causation happens to be one of the wonders in the universe. Idang shares this line of thought, in his work “Philosophy An Outline For Beginners”, he defines philosophy as that which “begins with wonder about the world, about a man and his origin, about the society and in fact about everything” (2). The understanding of an the occurring event leading to another event, or that of an occurring event generating as a result of an already existing or occurring event makes the beginning of the thoughts of causation in the universe. The structural setting of the cosmos is one of the most perplexing phenomena that create thought in the human mind. ![]()
