This article discusses Immanuel Kant's views on causality, causal laws, and scientific theory as presented in his philosophy. Kant believed that causality is a fundamental principle that the human mind uses to understand experiences. He also thought that causal laws describe regularities in nature but are constructs of the human mind, not things that exist independently in the world. For Kant, scientific theories are mental representations of natural phenomena that are grounded in causal laws.
