    It is not the case that A transcendental argument establishing uniformity as constitutive of experience would be demonstrative yet immune to Hume's conceivability objection.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Transcendental arguments prove only what's necessary for *our* experience, not that uniformity is constitutive of experience itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim conflates psychological necessity (what we must assume) with metaphysical necessity (what must actually obtain).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Even if uniformity conditions our cognition, this doesn't immunize the argument from Hume's core point: we can still conceive alternatives without logical contradiction.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Transcendental arguments identify conditions necessarily presupposed by experience itself, not merely conceivable alternatives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Uniformity is constitutive of experience: without it, sensory data lacks the minimal coherence required for any representation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Hume's conceivability objection fails because conceiving a world without uniformity doesn't show non-uniformity is genuinely possible—only that imagination outpaces rational constraints.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
