Knowledge gained apart from Sense Experience

Empiricists like David Hume have argued that human knowledge is derived from sense experience alone. They believe that humans are born with what is referred to a tabula rasa or “blank slate”, and the human mind is created through sense experience alone, filing the slate throughout the individual’s life. Hume believed that all of a person’s ideas/ knowledge are derived from the impression on the world around them.

Immanuel Kant on the other hand was a rationalist. Rationalist ideology proposes that a human being’s mind is not a blank slate, but supplements the knowledge that is gained from sense experience.

The underlying question that divides these two groups concerns the ability for knowledge to develop apart from sense experience.

Knowledge can in fact arise apart from what is experienced by sense alone. If human understanding arose solely from experience then the brain would not be able to comprehend topics that do not exist in nature. Therefore, all topics/ knowledge that has to do with complex/ symbolic meaning cannot be the results of knowledge derived form experience.
One such topic is negative numbers, experience mat teach us to derive a number system for observable entitles, but the development of mathematics that includes a numbering system for objects that do not exist can only be supported by the brains addition to experience.

The belief that all knowledge originates from sense experience cannot explain the concept of the “mind” itself. Simple sense experience does not lead one to contemplate the origin of the thoughts. This contemplation of the “mind” proves that it is an inherent ability that is present in the human mind.

The belief of Immanuel Kant that the mind adds something to the things if experience is the only viable explanation The concepts of symbolic ideas such as negative numbers and the mind itself cannot be derived through sense experience alone. Some inherent knowledge is needed in order for humans to have fully developed and conceptually grasped this knowledge.
The rationalists were correct. The mind has inherent abilities that contribute to the knowledge that is derived from experience, allowing humans to grasp the intricacy of the universe.
