Day and Dream
Question
Have a good week!
According to Kant, if causality is an a priori category, then why is there not necessarily causality in a dream? After all, specifically in a dream, which takes place in consciousness, there ought to be a priori categories, no?
Answer
First, who says there is no causality in a dream? Second, it is an a priori category of cognition, but a dream does not operate through cognition; it invents.
