Questions on Kant: Analogies, Transcendental Ideas

1. Even though our intuitions (or representations) change from moment to moment, we can say (as Hume did about different perceptions of the "same" thing) that they resemble or are analogous to one another. How does Kant use this idea of analogy to resurrect the notion of substance?

2. How does Kant appeal to the rule-governed character of our experience of events to argue (against Hume) for the necessary, objective order of nature?

3. Why does Kant think that consciousness of my own existence is intelligible only if external objects exist? And why does he think that this refutes idealism?

4. What is the difference between phenomena and noumena?

5. How is the difference between the negative, positive, and problematic senses of noumena highlight how the concept of a noumenon is merely a limiting concept?

6. Kant says there are three pure ideas or concepts of reason (also called "transcendental ideas"): the self or subject, the world, and God. What similar role does each play?
