Kant Section 18 and 19 (from in class discussions)
Kant says there are two types of judgments, which are polarities. There are judgments and perception and judgments of experience. Judgments of perception are ordinary sense impressions, are subjectively valid and synthetic a posteriori. Hume and Locke feel these judgments are the centerpiece of our knowledge and do not investigate any further than this. Thus, judgments of perception are not controversial to the empiricist. However, judgments of experience are. Kant says judgments of experience are the bringing together of sensory information into categories, which is synthetic a priori and objectively valid (meaning everyone else agrees that is what is seen, heard, felt, etc. )

I seen in another light when it came to JUDGEMENT OF EXPERIENCE
this is easier to speak or should I say judge someone on something you have physically and mentally been though. Thats what I think kant means.

I understand Kant's different judgements and they make sence that it would be a judgement of what may happen and a judgement on what actually happens. Those are two good ways to break up judgements to make it easier to understand. But what i do not understand is how can perception judgements not controversial bc different peoples perceptions of something means different opinions which can lead to controversity, and actually experiences are not because they are what something someone has actually went through. So, that is confusing to me...
