Part of our knowledge he argued must be due to the modifying nature of our own minds which imposes on perception not only the forms of space and time but also the categories of relation which he understood to be a priori concepts contained within the understanding. Kant took a more analytical view of the concept of relation and his categories of relation were three namely, community, causality and inherence.[19]:113 These can be compared with Hume's three kinds of association in that, firstly, community depicts elements conjoined in time and space, secondly causality compares directly with cause and effect, and thirdly inherence implies the relation of a quality to its subject and plays an essential part in any consideration of the concept of resemblance. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6826.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6826.txt
