    Supports→The Elementary Philosophy cannot account for the ground of the objective matter of representation.

    Key Terms

    Causality(One of the independent premises of D2 in Plato's Parmenides)
    A principle about causal relations invoked as a premise in D2A4, paired with No Causation by Contraries to generate entailments about properties
    Immanuel Kant(as the originator of this concept)
    An 18th-century German philosopher who developed major ideas about ethics, reasoning, and how we understand the world; he's famous for arguing that morality is based on universal rules that apply to everyone equally.
    Kantian
    "Kantian" refers to the ideas of Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century German philosopher who fundamentally changed how we think about knowledge and morality. Kant argued that our minds actively shape what we experience in the world (rather than passively receiving information) and that we have a universal moral duty to act according to principles we'd want everyone to follow. His influence is so widespread that "Kantian" is used today to describe any approach to ethics or thinking that emphasizes reason, universal principles, and treating people as ends in themselves rather than as means to an end.
