C. Kant

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant tries to make a synthesis that would make universal and necessary scientific knowledge possible but whose truths were not merely formal and analytical but could be material, trying to justify the possibility and existence of a priori synthetic judgments, which would be the judgments of science: Universal and necessary, for being a priori, but synthetic because they extend the knowledge in its material content by extending the possible predicates regardless of the subject's notion, overcoming the limitations of the truths of reason.

To justify such judgments, he rejects that the understanding is like a "tabula rasa" that is limited to passively receiving the information that arrives from the sensitive data, in the same way that it rejects the intuition capacity of the understanding.

On the contrary, he says that understanding is active. He believes that intuition is given by sensitivity and that the concepts are the elaboration of one's understanding and serve as a justification for scientific knowledge. At the same time, from these non-empirical conditions, a priori, the general conditions of the experience can be determined, which allows the prediction and scientific forecast in the domain of nature
