Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helmholtz was more empiricist than Kant in his theory of visual perception. Unlike Kant, who believed in innate structures of the mind that shape our perceptions, Helmholtz argued that perception was shaped by sensory input from the environment. He conducted experiments on visual and auditory perception and supported the idea of empirical investigation to understand perception.
