    It is not the case that The felt coherence of experience can be accounted for by psychological regularities, not logical necessities of a priori synthesis.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Psychological regularities themselves require explanation; they cannot ground the unity that makes their own coherence possible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Mere contingent regularities cannot account for necessary structural features of experience, like the mandatory spatio-temporal form of all intuitions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates causal explanation of experience with logical justification for why experience must have coherent structure at all.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Neuroscience shows brain regularities (neural binding, predictive coding) explain experiential unity without invoking a priori structures.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Empirical learning and evolutionary adaptation can account for coherence patterns; logical necessity cannot explain contingent variations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Psychological regularities are simpler and more parsimonious than positing transcendental synthetic a priori conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
