Abstract
In this article, it will be briefly comprehended one empiricist philosopher David Hume’s and one rationalist philosopher Immanuel Kant’s exact understanding of knowledge and aporiae will be examined and they will be compared as necessary. As it is known, Hume is the representative of classical English philosophy after John Locke and George Berkeley. He destroyed the systems of all philosophers who preceded him, tried to establish a “science of human nature” based on experiments and wrote “A Treatise of Human Nature” to this end. In fact, he dwelled on the knowledge of the human mind. Hume, who awakened Kant from his dogmatic slumbers with his works on the concept of causality, changed the direction of science and philosophy and attained a completely different place in the history of philosophy with his style of solving problems. Kant, an 18th Century Enlightenment Philosopher, who considered the human mind to be very important and who believed that the mind is equipped with contained knowledge from birth, also made the mind his subject of examination. As a result, he wrote the “Critique of Pure Reason”, the “Critique of Practical Reason” and the “Critique of Reason with Reflections” and opened new horizons for philosophy, and especially for metaphysics, ethics and art.
