5626	An a priori principle of persistence anticipates all experience [Kant]
	Full Idea: The principle of persistence is one that anticipates experience just as much as that of causality.
	From: Immanuel Kant (Critique of Pure Reason [1781], B795/A767)
	A reaction: This is the notion that identity is an indefinable basic of our understanding. He is objecting to Hume, who, of course, thought persistance was just an experience. Personally I persistance to be a posteriori, but how else could things exist?
