On Kant's Concept Of Experience

Experience as the criterion to distinguish appearance and thing-in-itself and the boundary to bind metaphysics of nature and metaphysics of morals is very important in Kant's philosophy,this article is the narrate and analyses on it.The article divides into four parts.The first part is the thought origion of Kant's concept of experience,we choose Aristotle's concept of experience,Leibniz's theory of innate notion and Hume's theory of causality that enlarges the intension of experience,the intension of Kant's concept of experience is correspond to them from different dimensions;the second part is the general defination of experience with the comparison of some relative conceptions,experience is the empirical knowledge,it is the synthesis of the aesthetic perception by the category;the third part is how is experience possible,there is a tension between the possibility of synthetic proposition a priori and the possibility of experience in the range of theoretical reason,the synthetic proposition a priori is the condition that makes experience possible,and it is possible only as the condition that makes experience possible,in details,time and space and pure mathematics construct the appearance ——the object of empirical knowledge,categories and pure natural science construct the empirical knowledge,transcendental ideas and metaphysics as the regulation principle make the empirical knowledge become more and more unitive;the fourth part is the significance and influence of experience,Kant's philosophy reconcile the rationlism with empiricism,his concept of experience give expression to it adequately,experience is the bound or criterion that divide appearance from thing in itself and metaphysics of nature from metaphysics of morals,Kant's metaphysics of nature as the condition that makes experience possible is a kind of epistemology,this is in the tradition that the metaphysics begins with logic,his metaphysics of morals transcend the speculative reason,it lead to Fichite's ego and practice philosophy,Schopenhauer and Nietzsche's irrationalism,and Heidegger's fundamental ontology,as for the analytic philosophy,Kant's concept of experience influences MacDowell's conceptulization of experience on the relation between mind and world.
