ABSTRACT
Kant says that Hume woke him from his 'dogmatic slumber'. Kant agrees with Hume that reason cannot give us the concept of cause and effect. This chapter argue that since Kant begs few questions against Hume, the argument of the First Analogy would be unacceptable to Hume. It outlines Hume's argument in the Treatise that we do not have the idea of identity or the idea of substance. Hume argues that the idea of identity must come from either a single object or multiple objects. This is because any idea can only be justified by being derived from either one impression or a series of impressions. Though Kant does not respond directly to Hume's argument, we can see from some of Kant's related arguments how Kant could respond. Any apparent similarity between Kant's argument in the First Analogy and various statements of Hume's is insignificant when compared to their disagreements about experience and time.
