- Conceptual Schemes
- Kant
- We have a priori concepts of space, time and self etc.
- In order to observe objects in space etc we need to originally have this a priori concept of space.
- However, we also need sense experience to 'trigger' our a priori concepts or they would be empty.

- Time. object, cause and self are necessary for sense experience, and these are called catagories and combined create our conceptual scheme.
- He says our conceptual schemes are universal but the origin of these catagories is unknown.

- Sapir-Whorf
- Our conceptual schemes are based on our individual concepts and languages.
- The concepts that we have are determined by our language, which in turn determine the kind of experience that we have.
- For example, the Inuit people have over 20 words for snow where as we only have a few.
- So, our experiences only make sense because they are determined by the language we have learnt.

- Empiricists
- All our concepts come from experience.
- E.g. we get the concept of space by observing things in space.
- Everyone just recieves 'experience' and they learn their concepts from this
- E.g. we get the concept of space by observing things in space.
- Locke
- His view opposes Kant as he says we cannot have any a priori or innate concepts, as if we did they would be universal and there is no one idea that everyone, including 'children and idiots', knows.

- They sort of agree with Sapir-Whorf as our language and culture is sensory experience, but they disagree with the fact that our concepts determine our experience.
