Causality is one of the important topics in the history of Phiosophy.As Hume considered that causality is generated by the repetition of experiences,which leads causality to be a pinciple of an accident.Kant's transdental idealism criticized this solution and making causality became a trandental idea.Kant believed that causality is not come from experience,on the contrary,the occurrence of experience must need the category of causality.Anything's occurrence need causality,when we experience something occurs,it must be ruled by the category of causality,the event that happend before is the causation.Kant proved that we can not infer that objective succession from the perception of objective succession.Subjetive perception is accidental way of understanding object,which is not ruled by the category of causation.But the objective succession is the succession which gives the order of perception to object that had been ruled.The different orders of subjetive perception makes it is reversible.The objective succession which ruled by the category of causation just has only one order and it is irreversible.This irreversible order is the order of the changes that substance occurs,and it is also the order of event occurance.The category of causality not just rules the transformations of different types of object,but also determine the succession of perception.The succession of perception which had not been ruled by the causality is reversible,and this kind of succession is provided by imagination.The succession of perception which had been ruled by the causality is irreversible,it is the only succession which rules the perception of object,meanwhile,it is the succession which had involved the elements of thinking.Kant's idealism had been criticised by Schopenhauer and Strawson.But as the misunderstanding of Kant,their criticisms can not be widely accepted.
