Kant agrees with Locke that we have no innate knowledge, that is, no knowledge of any particular propositions
implanted in us by God or nature prior to the commencement of our individual experience. I2 But experience is the
product both of external objects affecting our sensibility and of the operation of our cognitive faculties in response
to this effect (A I, B I), and Kant's claim is that we can have "pure" or a priori cognition of the contributions to
experience made by the operation of these faculties themselves, rather than of the effect of external objects on us in
experience. Kant divides our cognitive capacities into our receptivity to the effects of external objects acting on us
and giving us sensations, through which these objects are given to us in empirical intuition, and our active faculty for
relating the data of intuition by thinking them under concepts, which is called understanding, and forming judgments
about them. This division is the basis for Kant's division of the "Transcendental Doctrine of Elements" into the
"Transcendental Aesthetic," which deals with sensibility and its pure form, and the "Transcendental Logic," which deals
with the operations of the understanding and judgment as well as both the spurious and the legitimate activities of
theoretical reason.
